Question

Starting Appian Locally

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

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.

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

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?

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.
