CAUTION

AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our technical support periods. Find the supported versions here.

Starting Adobe Experience Manager from the Command Line starting-adobe-experience-manager-from-the-command-line

The start script is available under the <cq-installation>/bin directory. Both Unix and Windows versions are provided. The script starts the instance installed in <cq-installation> directory.

Those two versions support a list of environment variables that could be used to start and tune the AEM instance.

Environment variable

Description

CQ_PORT

TCP port used for stop and status scripts

CQ_HOST

Host name

CQ_INTERFACE

Interface that this server should listen to

CQ_RUNMODE

Runmode(s) separated by comma

CQ_JARFILE

Name of the jarfile

CQ_USE_JAAS

Use of JAAS (if true)

CQ_JAAS_CONFIG

Path of the JAAS configuration

CQ_JVM_OPTS

Default JVM options

CAUTION

Note that some run modes, among them author and publish, need to be set before first starting AEM and can not be changed afterwards. Before setting up an AEM instance that is supposed to be used in production, please see the run modes documentation for details.

Windows platform start.bat script example windows-platform-start-bat-script-example

SET CQ_PORT=1234 & ./start.bat

Unix platform start script example unix-platform-start-script-example

CQ_PORT=1234 ./start

NOTE

The start script launches the AEM Quickstart installed under the <cq-installation>/app folder.

Stopping Adobe Experience Manager stopping-adobe-experience-manager

To stop AEM, do one of the following:

Depending on the platform you are using:
- If you started AEM from either a script or the command line, press Ctrl+C to shut down the server.
- If you have used the start script on UNIX, you must use the stop script to stop AEM.
If you started AEM by double-clicking the jar file, click the On button on the startup window (the button then changes to Off) to shut down the server.

Stopping Adobe Experience Manager from the Command Line stopping-adobe-experience-manager-from-the-command-line

The stop script is available under the <cq-installation>/bin directory. Both Unix and Windows versions are provided. The script stops the running instance installed in <cq-installation> directory.

Unix platform stop script example unix-platform-stop-script-example

./stop

Windows platform stop.bat script example windows-platform-stop-bat-script-example

./stop.bat

If you just want to preconfigure the repository (without relocating it) you only have to:

extract repository.xml to the required location
update repository.xml as required
create bootstrap.properties and define repository.config

Again, before starting the actual installation.
