Hi,  
I am getting the following error when trying to run flowable-modeler war in my tomcat.  
org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLNonTransientConnectionException: Connection is broken: “java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out: 10.1.60.43:9091” [90067-199]

10.1.60 is my local ip address. And I have not made any changes in the default properties file with the spring data url

It appears to be trying to connect to h2 running on a network socket. The default db config looks like this:

```auto
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.h2.Driver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:~/flowable-db/db;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE;AUTO_SERVER_PORT=9091;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1

```

Could something else be running on 9091?

@wwitt I did solve the issue by changing the spring.data.source.url in the default properties file.  
I used a different file name other than flowable-db
