Thank you so much,

Hi @ThachNguyen141 

It looks like instance has not started up completely to operate. Based on the error you shared, it is missing the sling discovery service user in the instance. What other errors you see in the error.log while the instance is starting up? 

Thanks,

Lokesh

Hi @Lokesh_Vajrala ,

I have added other errors in the error.log while my author instance is starting up. Thank you for your help.

Hi @ThachNguyen141 

Please check if the bundles are active in the Web console (/system/console). If all bundles are active, then please stop the instance, navigate to the "crx-quickstart\launchpad\config\org\apache\sling/jcr/repoinit" directory, and delete the files within the repoinit folder. Afterward, start the AEM instance and check it.

[ThachNguyen141]

Hi @Jeevan-Eranti 

I applied your way but the issue still happening on my end.

Thank you so much.

[Lokesh_Vajrala]

@ThachNguyen141  so you can login through webconsole - /system/console? If you're, are all bundles active?  

[ThachNguyen141]

Hi @Lokesh_Vajrala 

Yes, i can login through crxde, system/console/, All my bundles are actived. I have attacked images. Please check them.

Thanks.

[Lokesh_Vajrala]

Thanks for sharing the screenshots. Last screenshot - "aem-crxde.png" gives some insights -> even though you logged in as admin, you don't see all the directories inside the repository except "/home, /var, /libs". 

It seems like there is a serious problem with the instance, may be the SP upgrade halted abruptly or something is not installed correctly. 

I suggest starting a fresh installation with 6.5.16 and see if that works without any issues. If you see the same error, I recommend raising a ticket with Adobe or use the next version 6.5.17 or the latest version 6.5.18. 

Thanks,

Lokesh

[DPrakashRaj]

What was the prior version of aem service pack before installing sp16?

[ThachNguyen141]

Hi @DPrakashRaj

My prior version of AEM was 6.5.11 before installing SP16

Thank you so much.

[ThachNguyen141]

Hi @kautuk_sahni,

I have tried to install the SP 16 again but the issue is still happening. Do you have any sugesstion for me?

1. 

Thank you so much.

@ThachNguyen141 

The error message HTTP ERROR 503 ServletResolver service missing, cannot service requests indicates that AEM is unable to start the ServletResolver service, which is responsible for resolving and dispatching requests to the appropriate servlets.

The error message on the error.log file indicates that AEM is unable to log in administratively when checking for expired announcements of the Sling discovery connector. This is likely because the ServletResolver service is not running.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following:

1. Restart the AEM author instance. This may resolve the issue if it was caused by a temporary glitch.
2. Check the AEM log files for any other errors. The log files may provide additional information about the cause of the problem.
3. Verify that you are using the correct version of the AEM SP 6.5.16 package. Make sure that the package is compatible with your version of AEM and your operating system.
4. Try reinstalling the AEM SP 6.5.16 package. If the package is corrupted or incomplete, reinstalling it may resolve the issue.
5. Contact Adobe support for assistance. If you are unable to resolve the issue on your own, you can contact Adobe support for assistance.

Here are some additional tips for resolving AEM login issues:

• Make sure that you are using the correct username and password.
• Make sure that the user account is enabled and has the appropriate permissions.
• Try logging in using a different web browser.
• Clear the browser cache and cookies.
• Disable any browser extensions or add-ons that may be interfering with AEM.
• Try logging in from a different computer.

If you are still unable to log in to AEM, please contact Adobe support for assistance.
