Hi All,

May i know where can i find the step by step guidance in deploying Activiti please ?

I have setup the Ubuntu server with Ant, Java and Tomcat 6 but so far got no clue where to do next ?

I've read the .properties file and seems that nothing that i should touch.

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You should configure build.properties for choose database (and configure database properties if is not h2)

And with "ant demo.setup" you obtain and install all activiti.

Here there is all information:

I prefer to use the default one i guess in this case H2 is the DB name ?

Name of database is define by name of build.xxx.properties in setup folder…

then for H2 is h2 (I think that h2 come by default).

thanks for the reply man,

however I found out that in order to try this software features and functionality it is very complex with minimal information on the website like the following:
The easiest target to get started is demo.setup. That target will

Fetch the library dependencies for the examples
Install the H2 in ${activiti.home}/apps/h2
Start the H2 database
Create the Activiti tables in the database
Download Tomcat if not available in the ${downloads.dir}
Install Tomcat in ${activiti.home}/apps/apache-tomcat-${tomcat.version}
Create an Activiti configuration jar
Install Activiti Engine into Tomcat, which includes libraries and configurations
Insert the demo users and groups in the Activiti identity tables (see below)
Deploy the example processes to the Activiti Engine DB
Deploy the REST interface webapp into tomcat
Download the Activiti Modeler webapp to ${activiti.home}/webapps
Deploy the Probe, Explorer and Modeler webapps into tomcat.
Start tomcat

So each of the line above needs to be elaborated into meaningful step by step to encourage people to try this software.
– my 2 cents

I'll try to extract the downloaded zip files in my linux server and then performs ant build.xml and hopefully all is good.

I agree with activist's point.
Clearer documentation on the installation process would be helpful.

Hi sifter, yes we're not alone here, i believe there are many others who also face difficulty in trying to test this software.

It is our goal to make the demo setup as simple as possible, for everyone!

Can you elaborate on what exactly you believe is missing from the documentation?
