Hi,

Or looked at the Activiti in Action book?

Hey,

you said that, you installed apache ant, my question is: have you set path in environment variables like C:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.7.1\bin

if you set path like above,then ant will work fine and you can able to get "apps" folder.

After that just follow the User Guide given by Activiti.


Thanks,
mhp.

Sorry I very beginner in this field and I need more help in this.

since the application is not available (404), there was probably a problem starting it. If you started the application using the demo setup with Ant, there is information in the console. Have you checked for any errors there?

There is something running on port 9092. Kill that process first, then retry.
