Nothing actually worked I tried stopping AEM instance delete the folder logs and repository/index , downloaded the OAK-Run-Jar  restarted the instances several times restarted the PC chrome everything but when I build the project I am getting this same error.

 

Please Help

 

 

I found the solution one of my bundle was Active but still giving an error kindly delete the index file from crx-quickstart and run again the instance will work fine.

Hi @shuter009 

Do you see anything in the error.log?

Was this working earlier and now after deploying any specific code this issue started popping up?

 

You are running AEM 6.5 with what service pack? What is the JDK version?

 

Thanks!

Which service pack you are running now? You have not installed any custom code or content package and you are not able to start the instance? This gives you the 503 error. Are you running this on windows or mac?

I am running this on Ubuntu and have not installed any custom code or any service pack

I will suggest you to install the latest service pack(6.5.8.0) on plain vanilla 6.5.0 instance and try this once. If there is no custom code installed and if the installation is correct, then you should not be facing any issues.

@shuter009 Package share is no more accessible and the binary can be downloaded from here; https://downloads.experiencecloud.adobe.com/

 

Also I have the package available here in my drive which you can download and install:

That is weird. Do you have a windows machine where you can try with the same jar and same steps and see if you are able to reproduce the issue? This issue should not occur at all!

Hi @shuter009,

Check if you have enough memory required for an AEM instance. 

  • 5 GB free disk space in the installation directory
  • 2 GB memory

If it was working before and the issue is observed recently, try to dig down the old error.log files (error.log files that are rotated as old files with dates) and check if you have any error related to memory like the below

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

There is enough memory for an AEM instance my version is 6.5 and its not working since fresh install I have checked the error.log files also but evrything is in success mode.

-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M I have followed every step I don't know what is happening

Hi @shuter009,

No worries. Can you update the value of -Xmx alone as -Xmx2048m
