Problem with second instance of access manager

Question

Well, after sorting out things with the first install of access manager, I went on to install a second instance on a different host (it's required for delegated admin..)
Here are the options I used on install:
Access Manager: Administration (1 of 6)
Administrator User ID: amAdmin
Administrator Password [] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Retype Password [] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
LDAP User ID: amldapuser
LDAP Password [] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Retype Password [] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Password Encryption Key [gFoe4t8UlUW3wEApngAY3S8bCQFVMlGk] {"<" goes back,
"!" exits}: weW5jtopMLQsODiBZDp+hlEp1/CtbiXX
Install type (Realm/Legacy) Mode [Legacy] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Access Manager: Web Container (2 of 6)
1. Sun Java System Application Server
2. Sun Java System Web Server
Select the container to deploy the component and hit enter key [2] {"<" goes
back, "!" exits}
Access Manager: Sun Java System Web Server (3 of 6)
Host Name [zone2.corenode.com] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Web Server Instance Directory [opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-zone2.corenode.com] {"<"
goes back, "!" exits}:
Web Server Port [80] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Document Root Directory [opt/SUNWwbsvr/docs] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Secure Server Instance Port [No] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Access Manager: Web Container for running Access Manager Services(4 of 6)
Host Name [zone2.corenode.com] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Services Deployment URI [amserver] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Common Domain Deployment URI [amcommon] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Cookie Domain(Assure it is not a top level domain) [.corenode.com] {"<" goes
back, "!" exits}:
Administration Console [Yes] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Console Deployment URI [amconsole] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Password Deployment URI [ampassword] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Access Manager: Directory Server Information (5 of 6)
Directory Server Host [] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}: zone1.corenode.com
Directory Server Port [] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}: 389
Directory Root Suffix [dc=corenode,dc=com] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Directory Manager DN [cn=Directory Manager] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Directory Manager Password [] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Access Manager: Directory Server Information (6 of 6)
Is Directory Server provisioned with user data [No] {"<" goes back, "!"
exits}? Yes
Organization Marker Object Class [sunISManagedOrganization] {"<" goes back,
"!" exits}:
Organization Naming Attribute [o] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
User Marker Object Class [inetorgperson] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
User Naming Attribute [uid] {"<" goes back, "!" exits}:
Yes, I am using the same key as was used on host1 for access manager. Yes, access manager on host 1 is quite functional right now. Yes, that directory server works. Now I'm really stumped on what to do! Everything in JES seems to work great except access manager, the exceptions it throws really don't help any at all in troubleshooting.
Any ideas?
