AEM 6.4 Quickstart Jar file Not Working

[#1]

Having some trouble getting the quickstart to run.    What version of JDK for java should I be using?    I downloaded version 8.   So Java SE version is 1.8.0_221.

Right now, when I run the quickstart jar file.    I see this screen but it never advances in the progress bar.      I am on Windows 10 - 64bit.

Logs show.

[#2]

Which logfile have you posted? Can you check the error.log file for a hopefully more meaningfull error? Can you reach "localhost:4502" with a browser?

[#3]

1. Can you post the output of java -version ?

2. Are you running quickstart as root/admin ?

[#4]

Look like you are using the JRE instead of the JDK. You might want to check Java version that is installed.

[#5]

java version "1.8.0_221"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_221-b11)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.221-b11, mixed mode)

It's using the JDK in

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_221

[#6]

Your JDK seems alright.

Can you provide the command/script you used to run the .jar file ?

[#7]

I am just double clicking on the jar file (AEM_6.4_Quickstart.jar) in windows 10.   

I looked at starting it at the command prompt.  And was trying this:

java -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024M -jar AEM_6.4_Quickstart.jar

But nothing was starting outside of the command prompt.   Didn't the AEM box from my screenshot nor anything in the browser.

Not sure if I need to rename the jar file before double clicking.

[#8]

Can you do the following:

- change the name of the .jar file (assuming its an author environment) > aem64-author-p4564.jar

- run the command > java -jar -Xmx4G aem64-author-p4564.jar

[#9]

I get this:

C:\Work\Adobe AEM\AEM>java -jar -Xmx4G aem64-author-p4564.jar

Loading quickstart properties: default

Redirecting stderr to C:\Work\Adobe AEM\AEM\crx-quickstart\logs\stderr.log

Press CTRL-C to shutdown the Quickstart server...

But nothing starts outside of the command prompt.

[#10]

you should lower the -Xmx

use this command > java -jar -Xmx1024m aem64-author-p4564.jar
