Can't startup Tomcat

Question

I'm just trying to setup a tomcat server. I got the following setting:

Tomcat 9 installation inside: /opt/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M1 WebAppliction located at: /srv/appsiting-dev/

Structure of the WebApplication:

drwxrwsr-x 2 root appsiting 4096 Jan 15 20:08 bin
drwxrws--- 2 root appsiting 4096 Jan 16 18:52 doc
drwxrwsr-x 2 root www-data  4096 Jan 16 19:48 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root      4096 Jan 15 19:56 log
drwxrwsr-x 2 root appsiting 4096 Jan 15 19:56 php-lib
drwxrwsr-x 2 root appsiting 4096 Jan 16 02:38 public_html
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root      4096 Jan 15 19:57 tmp
drwxrwsr-x 7 root root      4096 Jan 16 00:45 tomcat
drwxrwsr-x 3 root appsiting 4096 Jan 15 21:30 var
drwxrwsr-x 2 root appsiting 4096 Jan 15 19:57 zend-app

Inside the tomcat directory there is the following:

drwxrwsr-x 3 appsiting appsiting 4096 Jan 16 20:25 conf
drwxrws--- 2 appsiting appsiting 4096 Jan 16 20:07 logs
drwxrwsr-x 2 appsiting appsiting 4096 Jan 16 20:20 temp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root      root      3015 Jan 16 00:45 tomcat
drwxrwsr-x 7 appsiting appsiting 4096 Jan 15 23:32 webapps
drwxrwsr-x 2 appsiting appsiting 4096 Jan 15 23:32 work

tomcatis a start-up script. I got the following inside of my tomcat.conf, which is located inside of conf

USERNAME="appsiting"
PORTBASE="40000"

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=$(($PORTBASE+2))"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled"
#JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled"
#JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintClassHistogram"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -server"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.awt.headless=true"
export JAVA_OPTS

export JAVA_HOME="/usr"
export CATALINA_HOME="/opt/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M1"
export CATALINA_BASE="/srv/appsiting-dev/tomcat"

So when I startup my server I get a tomcat.err and a catalina.out. And even though the tomcat.errtells me the Tomcat has started, catalina.out doesn't have a "Server starup in xx ms" inside of it.

tomcat.err

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /srv/appsiting-dev/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /opt/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M1
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /srv/appsiting-dev/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr
Using CLASSPATH:       /opt/apache-tomcat-    9.0.0.M1/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M1/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Using CATALINA_PID:    /srv/appsiting-dev/tomcat/temp/tomcat.pid
Tomcat started.

catalina.out is empty. Here is the start up script as well: https://www.refheap.com/113725

When running it I'm getting a

sudo ./tomcat start
Starting Tomcat (appsiting-dev) ............................... failed.

Does anyone know what the issue is here?

Thanks in advance

local host port is already using in other service or process.find and kill(stop) it.
