AEM Stop command not working for Publish instance

I have AEM instance setup on a AWS Ubuntu machine. Not sure why stop command not working for publish instance. It is working fine for author instance. We have configured it on changed port(5054). Can anyone suggest if I am missing anything? Here is the screen shot showing the error message while running the stop command:

Solution

  • You cannot stop an AEM instance with the stop script if you did not start it with the start script.

    If you look at the scripts you'll see that:

    start script creates a file conf/cq.pid that has the java PID

    stop script looks for that file and tries to stop the instance then deletes the file.

    Thus, if you did not start with start script, you cannot stop with stop script.
