AEM Publisher 6.5 - No bin Directory

Question

I am starting AEM in publish mode using the quickstart jar:

java -jar cq-publish-p4506.jar

Under the crx-quickstart directory, i see only one directory, repository. There is no bin directory created under it

crx-quickstart/
      repository/

What can i do to make AEM create the bin directory with start/stop scripts?

Answer 1

Run

java -jar <CQ_JAR_PATH> -unpack -v

This will extract for you.

Then edit the start or quickstart files to set the run mode to publish and port to 4506.

You can then use the start/stop/quickstart scripts to start AEM.

Answer 2

The bin directory is under crx-quickstart, not under repository.
