ERROR : The system was unable to log you in.

[skougiou]

Good morning,

I know that this topic has been addressed before but I couldn't find a straight or clear answer. Getting to the point, the problem is that after installing the demo I can't log in to any of the tools. The users are already in the database. I am using java jdk1.6.0_21 , Ant 1.8.1  and tomcat 6.0.29 on winXP sp3 application version is activiti 5.0 . When using the kermit/kermit credentials I receive the message "The system was unable to log you in." I have checked that there is no other server running localy on port 8080. In the tomcat console appear two error messages
1.
12:36:23,237  ERROR [extensions.webscripts.AbstractRuntime] Exception from executeScript - redirecting to status template error: 11160000 Wr
apped Exception (with status template): null
….stack trace…

2.
16 ─ίΆ 2010 12:36:23 ΉΉ org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.connector.AuthenticatingConnector handshake
SEVERE: An exception occurred while attempting authentication handshake for endpoint: http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service
org.springframework.extensions.surf.exception.AuthenticationException: 11160000 Wrapped Exception (with status template): null

I have tried to uninstall and re-install several times. I have checked the env variables of JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME. The tomcat is on port 8080 and as I see the applications are all loaded and deployed normally.

I am appending the log file as I have no more ideas
Thank you for your time.

I don't know why but i have just solved this problem just inserting this lines in the database.

insert into ACT_GE_PROPERTY

values ('schema.version', '5.0', 1);



insert into ACT_GE_PROPERTY

values ('next.dbid', '1', 1);

Maybe it is an instalation problem.

Goodmorning,

Unfortunately my installation has already inserted these 2 lines. What I see different is the value of the first line
name_                value_          rev_
'next.dbid'            110              2
'schema.version'   5.0               1

[skougiou]

any suggestions? I am still searching and nothing comes up. I don't think that anyone in here considers that " re-installing fixxed the problem! "  is a worthy answer.

thanks

I've got the same problem.
The installation with demo.start was successful
but when i try to log in the following message appears in the browser: "The system was unable to log you in."
This is what the logfile says:
ERROR [extensions.webscripts.AbstractRuntime] Exception from executeScript - redirecting to status template error: 01150000 Wrapped Exception (with status template): null
SEVERE: An exception occurred while attempting authentication handshake for endpoint: http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service
org.springframework.extensions.surf.exception.AuthenticationException: 01150000 Wrapped Exception (with status template): null
I am using:
activiti 5.2
with java6
on linux ubuntu10.10
(on linux oracle 5.5 i ve got the same error)

Can somebody help me ?
Thanks

sweinzie,

You should look a bit higher in your tomcat-log to see if there were exceptions prior to you trying to log in to explorer/probe etc.

[sweinzie]

right, there is another error:
Error opening session.  Cause: org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Database may be already in use: "Locked by another process". Possible solutions: close all other connection(s); use the server mode; ;The error ist similar to explorer, probe and cycle
When i try open activiti-kickstart there will be an error starting the application
exception

Is this the same cause?

ok, it s me again.
sounds funny but after reboot
and starting h2 with the ant script and afterwards starting tomcat with the ant script it works.
