AEM instance is not starting

[soniv]

When I double click on the .jar file. it does not not do anything.

My Folder structure

It  does create crx-quickstart with logs->upgrade.log file

I am running this JAVA on my system. I have also tried switching it to 1.8 with this command ' export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.291.10` '. but it does not work

Hi,

Can you check below page and try 

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/deploying/deploying/troubleshooting.ht....

Also, do you see other log files under logs folder ? 

[soniv]

Yes after running the command what @DEBAL_DAS  has mentioned i can see the files and folder structures but instance is not starting.

[DEBAL_DAS · Accepted solution]

1st Try this -

Can you first unpack the Jar like this:

java -jar cq6-author-4502.jar -unpack

and then try to use the start script:

cd crx-quickstart/bin
./start

2nd : If the above approach don't work then please [Running AEM in debug mode and low memory] refer https://gist.github.com/boser87/e360d6179dfe693dfe5b 

[DEBAL_DAS]

Are you starting this AEM instance for the first time? If yes, can you execute 

java -Xmx4096M -jar AEM.jar and see whether it helps to start AEM instance or not.

If you want you keep the backup crx-quickstart folder also.

Hi @DEBAL_DAS - This is Suvendu here. I am also facing the same issue. I have already installed Java & maven. Also environmental variable has been set. While double click on AEM jar file from author folder AEM instance is running but not 100%. It seems like pause after 70 or 75%. I have tried deleting the crx folder & run through cmd from the author folder, but no luck. It's already my half of the day finished.

What could be the cause ?

NOTE - System config - Windows 11, 16gb RAM, 512gb SDD, i5 11th gen processor

Below is the message while running through cmd - 

AEM Instance running till this -
