I was getting this error when trying to start H2.
See also http://h2database.com/javadoc/org/h2/tools/Server.html

Exception in thread "main" org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Feature not supported: "-~webAllowOthers" [50100-197]

So I followed these steps:

1. make dir mkdir h2db this directory will have your db files.
2. Hit this command : java -cp bin/h2-1.4.197.jar org.h2.tools.Server -web -webAllowOthers -tcp -tcpAllowOthers -baseDir /home/manoj/dev/h2/h2db_6.0
   this command will start h2
3. If you want to run h2 in backend then open vi h2.sh and paste this command in this: nohup java -cp bin/h2-1.4.197.jar org.h2.tools.Server -web -webAllowOthers -tcp -tcpAllowOthers -baseDir /home/manoj/dev/h2/h2db_6.0/ &
4. Now run ./bin.h2.sh.
