Starting Appian Locally

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.

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.

2021-12-10 14:58:37,680 [wait-for-component] INFO  com.appiancorp.common.startup.WaitForStatefulComponents - Waiting for Appian component Primary datasource RDBMS to be healthy...

At <REPO_HOME>\conf\tomcatResources.xml.<ENVIRONMENT>. For step 4 in the guide

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.

Like described here?

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.4/Quick_Start_Installation_Guide.html#custom-properties

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.

I searched about your pc and copied the full device name.

Maybe a stupid question, but does the FQDN resolve to your machine?

Thanks for response. Yea that seems most likely, will have to open up a case.

This can be so many things. You might get lucky and have someone know exactly what the issue is but you're most likely going to have to raise an case with Appian.
