there is no other software running other then mysql and appain.. Help would be appreciated

Looks like you haven't started your engines. Did you install the windows service? forum.appian.com/.../Installing_Appian_as_a_Windows_Service
Otherwise, please run start-suite.bat from the command line.

Please also ensure that the engines are up and running before starting JBoss. You can check the status of the engines by running checkengine.bat

when i am trying to run start-suite.bat getting following error



WARNING: No valid engines are configured to be started on this machine

Done!
