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.

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?

Got the exact same error as above using Activiti 5.5.

Afaik, there are no tables created during the demo setup. If you want to use another database, you need to create the tables yourself. From what i know the ddl's are provided (somewhere)' but I'm not sure

[ronald_van_kuij]

Hmmm seems I'm wrong… From the docs:

- Start the H2 database. Again, this is only done if using h2 as the database. If you're using a different database it is assumed that it is already up and running.
- Create the Activiti tables in the database

Or the docs are wrong 🙂
