Question

I'd ask the Activiti forum, but these three poor unfortunates all asked to no avail:

So, I ask you, StackOverflow... can you help? The antfile looks to be executing without any problems:

C:\activiti-5.9\setup>ant demo.start
Buildfile: C:\activiti-5.9\setup\build.xml

demo.install:

internal.cfg.create:

Nothing added to the console when I request http://localhost:8080/activiti-explorer, but I do get:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1

Content-Length: 0

Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 15:09:09 GMT

Any suggestions?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Here's my resolution:

The CATALINA_* variables were pointing to my version of tomcat and not the one that comes with Activiti.

Setting

set CATALINA_BASE="C:\activiti-5.9\apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.32"
set CATALINA_HOME=%CATALINA_BASE%
set CATALINA_TEMP="C:\activiti-5.9\apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.32\temp"

Works fine from there.

Not sure if the same is applicable on a *nix system, but it's worth a look.
