Server not ready, browser not launched

[formis17]

Hello,

I am running CQ5.4, and I am attempting to set up a local instance. I followed the instructions found on http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-4/howto/installingcq.html, however, my server is not launching. I am getting the following error in my stderr.log file: 

Exception in shutdown polling thread, giving up: java.io.IOException: Stream closed
Shutdown polling thread ends
Retrying http://localhost:7502/crx (ConnectException) (1/60)...
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.day.commons.httpclient.impl.ProxySelector).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Retrying http://localhost:7502/crx (ConnectException) (3/60)...

And then it continues to retry until it quits, and I get the message, "Server not ready, browser not launched." Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi

please check the error.log file in crx-quickstart/logs; there should be a statement indicating the type of the problem. Have you configured your CQ to run on port 7502?

check if you have correct ip address set in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file

Hi Sarah

    We have faced this issue when we used to work with 5.4. Make sure you have only java6 version running in your machine. If you have Java 7, try uninstalling that and retry.

Thanks

There id no ip address set in this file. Should I set my computer's ip address?

Thanks Veena! That was it! I had already tried opening it with java6, but somehow java7 must have affected it. I uninstalled java7, and now it works perfectly! Thanks for your help!

yes, and restart instance

<your pc's ip >  localhost

No luck. The server didn't launch, and I still have the same exception in stderr.log.

pls try to run the installer for 2-3 times and see if it works, when I used to work in 5.4 i faced the same issue and resolution was the same as I mentioned.

It looks like it is crashing after trying to start the "sling" servlet, if that helps. In server.log, this is the last line before a slew of errors:

23.06.2014 14:58:39 *MARK * webapp-CRX Launchpad Webapp: Start servlet 'sling'

I restarted it 3 times, and the result was the same each time. "Server not ready, browser not launched."
