Trouble installing trial version of Adobe Experience Manager, version 5.6.1 on Ubuntu

[greg_jones1]

I am installing a trial version of Adobe Experience Manager, version 5.6.1. I installed it as a author instance and I can get to the login page, but after logging in I continually get

No resource found (404)

The requested URL /welcome.html resulted in an error in org.apache.sling.servlets.resolver.internal.defaults.DefaultErrorHandlerServlet.

when accessing http://localhost:4502/welcome.html

Can anybody point me in the right direction as to what to look for, change, etc. I am running this on ubuntu, starting up from the command line on java 1.6

hi,

is the license.properties file beside your cq jar file?

Greg - Can you pls let me know how did you get the trial version of AEM? I have been trying since some time now but to no avail. Hopefully you can point me into the right direction. Thanks.

Yep, auto created during the install process

[Scott_Brodersen]

Do you have the license key from Adobe?

BTW, I run CQ on ubuntu as well (without this problem, obviously).

[greg_jones1]

Yes, I got a license key from adobe in their 'Adobe Experience Manager trial information' email. I entered that on the license page when I first started the application. Looks like it created the license just fine. I followed the steps here: http://wem.help.adobe.com/enterprise/en_US/10-0/wem/howto/installingcq.html#Installing%20an%20Author...

The author instance is the one I'm having trouble with. Publishing instance works just fine.

I get the error whether I start it up using

java -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -jar cq-author-5.6.1.jar
or when using the start script in /bin created after the install.

That page is for an old version of CQ. Use this one instead: https://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/howto/installingcq.html

The jar file should be named cq5-author-p4502.jar....

That did it. I did a reinstall using the new instructions, looks like the only real change was the jar file name. But it works now.

Thx,
