:cry: I meet the same problem! I find it caused by failing to create database in h2, but I don't know how to solve it .

I have solved my problems, these are caused by the JDK install directory which should not contain space character.
For example, c:\program files\java\jdk, you'd better change the directory like this way, c:\java\jkd.
I hope this will help you!

I'm having the same problem and having no spaces in my JDK path isn't fixing the problem.

Summary: Demo for Activiti 5.9 isn't working. When the browser window opens. no user accounts work for login.
I suspect the database isn't being populated correctly but manually populating the h2 database through the console doesn't seem to fix the problem.

I also noticed that many of the sample projects in the demo are pointing to incorrect jar files - either earlier versions of the jar files which are no longer included in the demo or pointing to an incorrect folder.

I got it working.

There were database related errors showing up in the logs but the problem turned out to be the port for Tomcat. 8080 was being used by something else.

For some reason modifying the Tomcat server.xml file directly wasn't enough. The trick was to do a complete "ant demo.clean", modify the /setup/build.xml file:

    <replace file="${tomcat.home}/conf/server.xml">
      <replacetoken><![CDATA[port="8080"]]></replacetoken>
      <replacevalue><![CDATA[port="8081" URIEncoding="UTF-8"]]></replacevalue>
    </replace>

And then do a clean re-install of the demo "ant demo.start".
