Need to update the log4j.properties of activiti-app and change log4j.appender.File.File=${logfilename} to actual file path.

Further to start with Activiti 6, we need to update the activiti-app.properties/ activiti-app-dev.properties with correct DB properties else application will not start.

Hope this will solve your problem.

log4j.properties found in /WEB-INF/classes
activiti-app-properties / activiti-app-dev.properties found in /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/activiti-app

I also put the following to support H2 in activiti-app.properties AND activiti-app-dev.properties (don't know when each of them are used):
# MYSQL
#datasource.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
#datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/activiti6ui?characterEncoding=UTF-8
#datasource.username=alfresco
#datasource.password=alfresco
#hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect

# H2
datasource.driver=org.h2.Driver
datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:activiti
datasource.username=sa
datasource.password=
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect

…and then it worked
