my publisher does not run after a computer restart

[jayv25585659]

so I have initially run the publisher using this command (I'm on Linux using JDK11)

java -jar aem-publish-p4503.jar

I installed the content and code packages and I can browser the custom pages without any issues.

My problem started after I restarted my PC.  To start AEM publish I tried

• java -jar aem-publish-p4503.jar
• crx-quickstart/bin/start (I had to change the port number as the default is 4502)

I tried to browser localhost:4503, but all I get is a 404. I then checked error.log and I don't see any new entries.

I encountered something similar when I setup author the first time and the fix was to delete

./crx-quickstart/launchpad/config/org/apache/sling/jcr/repoinit/RepositoryInitializer*.config

I tried the same trick in my publisher but it does not work.

If I start from the beginning again (rm -fr crx-quickstart), AEM will start working again.

Any ideas on how to fix or perhaps a workaround?

hi @jayv25585659, 

Could you please check the contents of both the stdout.log and stderr.log files? 

Additionally, could you verify if any other services are using port 4503?:

netstat -tul | grep 4503

Sometimes, there may be issues with the repository. In such cases, running an Offline Revision Cleanup might help. I can't guarantee that it will solve the problem, but in my experience, it has been helpful most of the time.
