Getting below error while running publish instance jar.
Verbose option not active, closing stdin and redirecting stdout and stderr
Redirecting stdout to /home/ec2-user/aem_instance/publish/crx-quickstart/logs/stdout.log
Redirecting stderr to /home/ec2-user/aem_instance/publish/crx-quickstart/logs/stderr.log
This is not an error, this is an information message indicating where the logs are going to be "redirected" or located. It usually takes a couple of minutes to start the AEM instance, after that you should be able to open a browser and check if the instance is running by accessing something like this: http://<host>:<port>.
You can also check that the JAVA process is running, you could run the command ps -ef | grep java , and you should see something like this root 12958 1 5 20:39 ? 00:02:41 java -server -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dsling.run.modes=publish,crx3,crx3tar -Djava.locale.providers=CLDR,JRE,SPI -jar crx-quickstart/app/cq-quickstart-6.4.0-standalone-quickstart.jar start -c crx-quickstart -i launchpad -p 4503 -Dsling.properties=conf/sling.properties
