I am running 7.10 on a Linux VM and am having trouble starting the search server. I brought down the VM to add more memory and shut down services in the following order 1. Jboss 2.Search-Server 3. Appian Engines. When I rebotted the VM and started Appian (came up ok) I know get the message "Unable to start Appian Search Server". Do i need to run the configure script again ? I did not make any changes to SS_JAVA_OPTS or allocate any more memory to Appian just the VM itself.

I checked all the info at forum.appian.com/.../Search_Server.html and the search-server.log and search_server_cluster.csv but I could not find any errors and everything seems to have shut down properly.

Does your Appian-topology.xml in the search-server/conf dir match the main one in suite.ear?

Yeah I ran a compare on the two and they match. I am thinking it maybe the ss.pid file that the start.sh script is looking for is not getting created for some reason

Try running whatever command is in start.sh manually from the command line. I remember doing something like that that gave me more info on a startup error.
