Hi Dinesh,

Check if /system/console/bundles are opening for you ? if yes, then check for oak bundles if it is in resolved state.

Thanks,

This is happening on working instance too after restart.

Hi Dinesh,

  It needs some back end operation to identify or create good revision on your instance.  Please engage with official support team

If all your bundles are active and still you are getting the same error, then try deleting and re-indexing the content. When indexes gets corrupt, then you run into this error. Sometimes you will need to club that up with Tar compaction too.

If your bundles are not coming to an active state and are staying in installed phase, then try to stop the Bundle - Apache Sling Resource-Based Discovery Service (org.apache.sling.discovery.impl) from felix console and restart your server. Once all the other bundles turn active, then you can start the discovery bundle again.

I have tried re-indexing and tried to find good revision too but no luck.

Hi Dinesh,

Try this:

1. Check your oak version by searching "oak" in "\crx-quickstart\launchpad\felix" folder.
2. Download same version bundle from maven.
3. Create install folder under crx-quickstart and place downloaded jar over there.
4. Start your instance.
5. Check bundles status, refresh if it is in resolved state.

*Make sure your instance is stopped before doing above steps.

Thanks,

I just followed this steps, all bundles are active but I still see Authentication support service is missing while accessing /crx/explorer/login.jsp

Can you try restarting once ? And if doesn't work after that, try tar compaction.
