Hi @FrancoBarresi 

Did you check the similar issue in the below community post

https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/aem-6-5-11-http-error-503-...

It seems related to the archetype . They have provided suggestions to either change the version or add the fix.

Other causes could be due to repository initialization error in case if the first one doesn't fix look at the below article and another community post solution

Hello @FrancoBarresi ,

1st investigate you can access the http://localhost:4502/system/console/bundles

and all the bundles are active.

If not find the inactive bundles and why. Again try to deploy the correct architecture version of AEM.

Otherwise, somehow your instance is corrupted Please check this: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/authenticationsupport-serv...

Hello, 

I solved the problem.

I had the crx folders that were installed on another pc. I proceeded as follows:

Installed MAVEN
Installed NODEJS
Installed JAVA
deleted the author and publish folders.
Copied and pasted the original jile jar.
Named the jar file "aem-author-p4502"
Inside the crx-quickstart folder, in the bin folder, I ran the batch file "start" and then "quickstart".
AEM started on port 4502.

Thanks for your effort
