Problem Installing Activiti 5.8

[jbbond]

HI,

I am new to Activiti and bound to install Activiti 5.8. However, trouble installing it on my laptop. I get the following error when try to run the ant demo.start command. It works fine on a different machine. I will really appreciate some help.

5.8 is already really out (in IT terms). We're already at 5.12 and has a way easier way of installing.

[jbbond]

Yes, This is true but I have to work on an existing project developed in 5.8. Therefore, working on Activiti 5.8 is the only option for me now. Please help me fixing the below mentioned problem.

thanks

Well, it seems the database isn't running.

Did you try running 'ant db.start' (or something alike) first to make sure it isn't the database itself wchich isnt booting for some reason?
