topic Kickstart will not work with MySQL setup in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/kickstart-will-not-work-with-mysql-setup/m-p/57975#M35356 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I'm not posting in the "Administrator" forum again. Hopefully someone can answer my question.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm trying to run the examples with MySQL instead of hypersonic. I have followed instructions to the letter based on "Changing the database" in the User guide.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>1) In build.properties I set the database to "mysql" instead of "h2". </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2) I ensured my MySQL isntallation has a database named "activiti" and there is a username/password of activiti/activiti that has access to it (and I do see the activiti tables getting created nicely there)</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>3) I ran "ant cfg.create". This creates the "spring configuration" nicely jar'ed for me under "build".</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The problem is that the "Kickstart" and "Administrator" apps do not work. And it is no surprise they don't work. One has a applicationContext.xml that still thinks the datasource is h2. Which tells me there is a problem in the build scripts. Other has a activity-cfg.jar in the WEB-INF\lib folder that still thinks it is h2. I was expecting that once I ran "ant cfg.create" before I ran "ant demo.start" - and I'm running from scratch, the webapps when they got copied under the apps\tomcat directory would take the jar with the correct jar for the datasource configuration. It doesn't.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I tried to manuall fix the problem. i.e. use the output from "ant cfg.create" by copying it into the WEB-INF\lib in one case, and modify the applicationContext.xml&nbsp; in the other case to configure the datasource to use mysql instead of h2, and then doing "ant demo.stop" followed by "ant demo.start". NO DICE!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm very impressed with the simplicity of Activiti. But if I cannot get it working, I'm doomed to be a slave to BPM products from IBM and Oracle. Someone help me out here please.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>PS. Why am I also getting a error with SL4J scripting regardless of whether i use H2 or MYSQL?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 10 Apr 2011 01:09:40 GMT baldy 2011-04-10T01:09:40Z Kickstart will not work with MySQL setup https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/kickstart-will-not-work-with-mysql-setup/m-p/57975#M35356 I'm not posting in the "Administrator" forum again.
