Installation issue

[stefanthiel]

Hi Everybody,

I downloaded ant and activiti and did everything recomended in
http://www.activiti.org/userguide/index.html#N1008C

After running ant demo.start everything seems to run smooth but when the browser-windows open, in every window I get the tomcat-message (with the related activiti-part):
=======================================
HTTP Status 404 - /activiti-kickstart
type Status report
message /activiti-kickstart
description The requested resource (/activiti-kickstart) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/6.0.32"
=======================================

From ant I get the following protokoll:

Even after I retry nothing changes. I tried it with the tomcat 7.0 version too, with the same effect.

I run a Dell Inspiron 9400
Intel Core 2 CPU T5600@1,83 GHz, 3,25/4 GB RAM
on Windows XP Professional SP3

Hi,

You should be able to get the Activiti Explorer running with an in-memory H2 database without needing additional configuration.
But if you want to keep the data even after a database restart then you really need the standalone H2 database.

Best regards,
