Activiti Modeller Installation problems

[kg86]

Hi,
I tried to install the modeller using this tutorial:
http://code.google.com/p/signavio-core-components/wiki/InstallationInstructions

I have a JDK 7 and Tomcat 7. I added URIEncoding="UTF-8" to the HTTP connector in server.xml by Tomcat.
In build.properties by Activiti Modeller I have edit the following:
war = activiti-modeler  
configuration = Activiti

Then I run the ant script: ant build-and-deploy-all-in-one-war-to-tomcat
BUILD SUCESSFUL

But at http://localhost:8080/activiti-modeller/p/explorer my Browser can't find anything.
The I have copied the created war-files (which were created by build-and-deploy-process) in the webapps folder of my tomcat7 and I started the
tomcat manuel. But it doesn't chance anything. At the uri before it doesn't display anything.

What was my mistake?

Thanks a lot!

Are you sure about the url : http://localhost:8080/activiti-modeller/p/explorer

It should be : http://localhost:8080/activiti-modeler/p/explorer

Do basic checks:

1 - Your tomcat is up http://localhost:8080
2 - Check your tomcat logs <tomcat-home>/logs/catalina.out

Good luck !

Hi,
thanks for answering!
I used as browser firefox and the ie.
Tomcat is reachable at localhost:8080.
I get a HTTP Status 404 message by trying http://localhost:8080/activiti-modeler/p/explorer.
The requested resource (/activiti-modeler/p/explorer) is not available.

Someone an idea to solve this problem?

Ps: Catalina log says:

Can you find the "activiti-modeler.war" file in the webapps directory of your Tomcat?

If not, run the command "ant build-all-in-one-war" and copy the created war file (which resides in the target folder) manually to the webapps directory and restart Tomcat.

hth,

Hi,
I already did it. But it didn't solve the problem.

Did anyone find a resolution for this?

I have installed the demo.start and am getting the same HTTP 404 error (with nothing in my Tomcat 7.0.26 logs strangely)

Hi,

The Activiti distribution doesn't contain the Activiti Modeler.
You can build it yourself or download a distribution from here:

If I now have exactly the same problem with Activiti Explorer, where do I go? Is that missing the war file too?

"The requested resource (/activiti-explorer/) is not available." error when opening http://localhost:8080/activiti-explorer/

Thanks

Mike
