Hi All,

I did my local setup recently but if i try to open CrxDe it is loading infinity and then an blank page is appearing. I tried multiple blogs but could not resolve this issue and not able to find the error in the error log as well.

FYI : all my bundles are active

Hi All,

The issue was resolved a firewall was blocking the JS that's the issue.

 it was an system user permission issue. once we got the local amin rights its resolved.

 

PageEditor.js 
DialogEditor.js

Hi @HariDo,

Most probably, this problem typically happens because of:

  • Some JS errors on the CRXDE page

  • Missing bundles (some OSGi bundles not active)

  • Incorrect Java version (AEM 6.5 needs Java 8 or Java 11, depending on service pack)

  • Corrupt repository initialization or some libraries missing

If nothing else works:

Try adding these runmodes if you don't have:

-Dsling.run.modes=crx3,crx3tar,nosamplecontent

(especially crx3, crx3tar)

You can set it in your start.bat / start.sh file or however you start AEM.

Hope that helps!

Hi @SantoshSai 

I tried updating the run mode in start.bat file but still getting the same .

 

if not defined CQ_RUNMODE set CQ_RUNMODE=author,crx3,crx3tar,nosamplecontent

Have you noticed any errors or warnings in logs, while loading CRXDE?

Any errors in browser console?

Hi @HariDo ,

 

Is the behavior same when you open it in incognito or on another browser ?

Can you try to set it up and then open the vanilla instance and check if the same continues ?
