Hello all,

I get this error when I start AEM author SDK in cmd. I am using java 11.0.15 . Someone, please help me with this.

Thanks in advance:)

Hey @Var-1 You can validate and try the below things:

• Make sure the port 4502 or the one used by AEM should be available. If it is used by another process, either kill it or start your AEM in a different port.
• Try running the command using admin mode.

If the above doesn't work, go to the crx-quickstart/logs folderand try to see any logs in error and share them here.

Thanks for your reply @ArpitVarshney ,

              I checked port 4502 and also tried to run in admin mode. Still, I get the same error.

              But the thing is crx-quickstart folder itself is not generating while I run the quickstart jar file. This causes the filenotfound error.

Check start.bat file config values 

CQ_JVM_OPTS=-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M

Thanks @Himanshu_Jain,

      Where can I find the start.bat file?

[Himanshu_Jain]

unpack the jar file in crx-quickstart folder .Under that /bin /start.bat

Interesting, it could be due to some permission issues. Can you please try

1. Download the SDK file fresh once more to ensure JAR is not corrupted

2. Ensure you are admin like user

3. Create the aem-sdk dev setup in some more generic custom folder like D:\, not C:\Program Files like system generated folders
