AEM jar file doesn't run

Hello,
I have a jar file of AEM 6.5. I created the two instances (author and publish) but when I start the jar file the crx quickstart folder is created, with the "logs" folder inside, and an empty "upgrade" notepad file.


It should be noted that before doing this I installed Maven on my pc.

Can anyone help me? I can't start AEM from my pc.

    Hi @francobarresi ,

    Hi @francobarresi 

     

    Please ensure the correct JDK version is installed on the machine.

     

    AEM 6.5 supports the following JDK:

    1. Oracle JDK 1.8
    2. Oracle JDK 11
    3. Azul Zulu Open JDK 8
    4. Azul Zulu Open JDK 11

    Any other version of JDK will not allow the AEM JAR to run on the machine.

     

    Please validate the JDK installation by running the below command:

     

    java -version

     

    Now navigate to the folder where the AEM JAR file is kept and run the following command to start the instance:

     

    java -jar aem-author-p4502.jar

     

    Note: Here the AEM Jar file name is aem-author-p4502.jar

     

    You should be able to start the application and AEM should be up and running in approx. 4-5 min depending upon the machine configuration.

     

    Hope this helps!

     

    Thanks!

          If you are using double clicking quick start jar,this will not work.

          use this command java -jar aem-author-p4502.jar

            hello

            i'm starting AEM only clicking batch file "quickstart", under the folder bin. But i can't use "author" and "publish" jar file, they don't start. When i click these (author or publish jar file) i see only a folder, inside the new folder quickstart who appears, called "logs" with a file empty named "upgrade". The others files don't appears. 

             

            So in this case i can use AEM, in other way. But it's very strange: why i can't use "publish" and "author" files jar, and i can use only the folder quickstart-bin-start with jar file AEM_6.5_Quickstart?

            @francobarresi Both looks identical,

            One way to start in publisher is to rename the jar to aem-publish-p4503.jar and double click to generate the crx-quickstart folder , then edit properties in start.bat :

            . . .

            ...

            if not defined CQ_PORT set CQ_PORT=4503

             . . .

            if not defined CQ_RUNMODE set CQ_RUNMODE=publisher

             . . .

            ...
