Hi Community,
I followed the Appian quick start installation guide, and ran all commands:
<APPIAN_HOME>\services\bin\start.bat -p <password> -s all
<APPIAN_HOME>\data-server\bin\start.bat
<APPIAN_HOME>\search-server\bin\start.bat
<APPIAN_HOME>\tomcat\apache-tomcat\bin\start-appserver.bat
Everything ran successfully, but when I went to my browser and navigated to http://<FQDN>:8080/suite/design/users, it wasn't connecting, tried different browsers same result. I replaced the FQDN with what I entered in conf.suite.SERVER_AND_PORT= and it is un-commented so is conf.suite.SCHEME=. I'm not sure what else could have went wrong. If anyone have resolved a similar issue your input would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Eric

Maybe a stupid question, but does the FQDN resolve to your machine?
I searched about your pc and copied the full device name.
Like described here?

Any errors in log files? I have no concrete ideas.
BTW, why do you install a local environment? Do you want to develop any plugins? If not, go cloud.
Yep followed that guide. Yea I want to use it test some plugins. I checked logs and it looks like it's not connecting to the right DB.

At <REPO_HOME>\conf\tomcatResources.xml.<ENVIRONMENT>. For step 4 in the guide
<REPO_HOME>\conf\tomcatResources.xml.<ENVIRONMENT>
inside the xml file it has driverClassName="org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver" and the guide never told me to change this but I'm using MySQL as my db.
I realized the problem I just had to change the driverclass name to "org.mysql.jdbc.Driver". It was right there I was so blind, but going through the logs really helped.
