Hangs at Startup in Progress

[cameron_reyes]

I recently installed AEM 6.1 standalone, when I start the service it runs, netstat -tulnap shows that java is running on port 4502, when I attempt to access the IP and port number, I am served the page "Startup in progress", but I do not make it any further than that. From reading the logs I see that it is trying to access a directory structure that does not exist on the system AEM was installed on.

This is just part of the logs/request.log

I have found that running the start script from anywhere else except crx-quickstart does not work and will not start the service, but have made no further progress. Any thoughts? I have looked at the known issues and several pages, but nothing has been helpful as of yet.

Hi,

apologies for the simplistic question, but why can't you run the script from crx-quickstart/bin/start

Also, can you show the error.log, as that will log what is happening in the repository, rather than the requests being served.

Every time I run the startup script in ./bin/start it does not give me any response when I try to access the ip and port in a browse,r not sure why. It looked like it was due to something in the startup script that I tried.

cd ..
START_OPTS="start -c ${CURR_DIR} -i launchpad"
if [ $CQ_PORT ]; then
        START_OPTS="${START_OPTS} -p ${CQ_PORT}"
fi

I moved to the crx-quickstart directory and got a response, but that all I got was the startup in progress page. which portion of error.log do you want as it is over 20K lines long. The top few lines or bottom?

I tried starting it from bin this time, and that seemed to serve me the same startup in progress page, but still no response otherwise.

Can you share the part of the error log that shows the above.

Do you get any exceptions during start up?

When you say AEM does not start, at some point is no more content written to error.log?

If you remove your changes in the start scripts and use the default scripts does AEM start?

Where I found the "error" was in the stdout.log

I have not made any changes to the start script, I only installed it in a custom directory. When I run the basic startup, it gives me no output, it just starts the server (I'm assuming).

Checking cat logs/error.log | tail threw me this error.

This was found in error.log a couple thousand lines up

If you follow the guide in the docs [0] exactly, does it work?
