Problem with demo.start

dc411 — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:46:03 GMT

Brand new Activiti-er here. I'm attempting to install 5.3 on a fresh Debian 6.0 machine. I have both Ant 1.8 and JDK 6u24 installed. I've unzipped the folder into the /opt directory and am trying to start the demo. I keep getting the following error:BUILD FAILED/opt/activiti-5.3/setup/build.xml:407:

Are you the demo running as root? Or does the user executing the demo-setup have right to chmod on the files? Normally, the startup.sh should be made executable by the setup procedure…

I have also faced this problem during the installation, Its because of the proxy.When we start the ant demo.start it tries to download the tomcat in the downloads folder but
with the activiti5.2 the repository is not available because it looks for the older version of apache but if you are working with 5.3 than just fix the proxy settings in the build.xml. I hope it will work…..good luck!!

Hi there,

i had the same problem.
(had installed ant and activiti. i didn't install tomcat !)

After reading the 'long version' i hit on an idea :

ant -p
showed me the main targets.

i found tomcat.install as a good choice for a target, especially because i couldn't find the /apache-tomcat-6.0.32/bin/ folder either.
so i typed :

ant tomcat.install

after that i could start the demo

maby this one helps others too

cheers

Sunjay's "ant tomcat.install" tip got me past this issue. And onto the next of three issues so far, probably all related to my company's firewall and proxy.
