Install problems

rowan_bradley — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 10:43:12 GMT

I've run the Activiti setup process using ant demo.start, and it said it had completed successfully, but none of the web pages that it tried to open worked. They all gave "cannot display the web page". I know next to nothing about the technology behind this stuff, so I don't know where to start in d

The Tomcat file is 20Kb. Surely this is not too big to attach? What's the point of an "attach files" feature if files larger than 20Kb or with extensions .txt, .log, .xxx or nothing are banned?

I'll try embedding the whole file below. Can anyone see anything wrong here? There are a few messages tagged SLF4J near the end - could these be the problem? If so, how do I fix this version mismatch?

Re: Install problems

Nothing wrong in the log file, it seems. Also the install scripts works as expected, looking at the log.

Do you actually see something on http://localhost:8080 ?

Do you actually see something on http://localhost:8080 ?

When I wrote first, no, I did not see anything. But, bizarrely, when I tried again the next day, everything seemed to be working properly.

But now I've got another problem. Tomcat seems to start up properly, and I can see the demo folders and the new folder I've created in Activiti Explorer, but when I try to open my folder, I get:

HTTP Status 404 - /p/publisher/C:;Users;Rowan2;Downloads;activiti-5.2;apps;apache-tomcat-6.0.29;bin;..;..;..;workspace;activiti-modeler-examples;Herbert%20Processes;Sales%20Admin%20Process%20-%20Tesco%20Express.signavio.xml

The file "C:\Users\Rowan2\Downloads\activiti-5.2\workspace\activiti-modeler-examples\Herbert Processes\Sales Admin Process - Tesco Express.signavio.xml", which is, I guess, the one it's trying to access, is there in the right place. So what's gone wrong?

It seemed to go wrong at about the same time that I installed Intalio Community edition, which also seemed to install a lot of the same stuff. I wonder whether some part of Intalio has overwritten something that Activiti needs? How does one avoid this happening?

Thanks - Rowan

jbarrez — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:04:53 GMT

I dont see how anything that intalio installs could overrid something of Activiti - since everything you need is contained in our zip file.

If I understand you correctly, you are getting the error in Cycle? Or in the Modeler?

I dont see how anything that intalio installs could overrid something of Activiti - since everything you need is contained in our zip file.

Well, I wondered whether they had redefined some environment variables or something. I have looked at the environment variables and can't see anything that looks wrong, but then I don't really know what I'm looking for… Do you put anything in the registry? I guess not…

I only mentioned this in case it might be the cause of the problem. It's probably something completely different…

If I understand you correctly, you are getting the error in Cycle? Or in the Modeler?

I run ant demo.start. Tomcat appears to start up correctly, finishing with the message:
28-Feb-2011 10:29:42 org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start
INFO: Server startup in 152528 ms

I get 5 Activiti browser tabs:
An Explorer login page
A Probe login page
A Modeler page showing my workspace, which shows all the demo folders plus one I created for my project.
A Cycle login page
A KickStart page

If on the Modeler page I double-click my folder, I see the one process that I have created.

If I double-click this process, I get the HTTP 404 error shown in my previous message. I don't seem to be able to get beyond this now, although the one time it worked for me, I did get to create this process. As far as I know, I haven't changed anything (except that I installed Intalio).

Any idea what's gone wrong?

Thanks for your help - Rowan

Activiti does not change anything in your system.

Are you running the default setup? Are your running on localhost?

All I have done is to run ant demo.start, which must have installed everything in its default location (which happened to be in the directory C:\Users\Rowan2\Downloads\activiti-5.2).

Yes, the server is running on localhost:8080. If I browse to http://localhost:8080 I see a "congratulations - you have installed Tomcat correctly" page.

Then I'm practically out of ideas I'm afraid ….

Its very bizarre that it worked one time and now it doesnt. Something surely must have changed. I would try to backup your process files, and reinstall the demo setup, and copy back your process files.

It was me being stupid. I'd forgotten that it won't work with IE. In Firefox it's fine.

Sorry to have asked a stupid question!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install activity but I can't find this demo.start file…
It looks like it should be in the setup folder of the activity package but there are just a fiew build.* files, is there something I missunderstood ? Where is this damn file !! ^^

thanks,
Antoine

hi,

there is no file called demo.start

demo.start is the name of the ant target.

where ant is the building tool used by activiti and the target demo.start is configured in the bild.xml configuratio file

all you need is install ant and call ant demo.start

HTH,

Alvin
