- Open aem script file and update the below
- AEM_ROOT (e.g: /mnt/crx is the root, where /mnt/crx/crx-quickstart is the full path)
- AEM_USER (e.g: aem)
- SCP these files to the server
- Copy aem to /usr/bin/aem
- Example: From terminal on your desktop $ scp user@1.1.1.1:/usr/bin/aem
- Copy aem.service to /etc/system.d/system/aem.system
- Example: From terminal on your desktop $ scp user@1.1.1.1:/etc/system.d/system/aem.system
- Copy aem to /usr/bin/aem
- SSH to your server
- ssh user@1.1.1.1
- Give permissions to the files
- sudo chmod u+rwx /usr/bin/aem
- sudo chmod u+rwx /etc/system.d/system/aem.system
- Update
- cd /etc/system.d/system
- systemctl enable aem.system
- You can restart the server or run the below commands to start AEM. Make sure you run Pre-requisite Step 2 before running this command.
Commands to START, RESTART and STOP AEM
1) Start AEM – sudo service aem start
2) Restart AEM – sudo service aem restart
3) Stop AEM – sudo service aem stop
Notes
* The example above was tested on CentOS 7
* AEM 6.3 version was used. Although the above process should work for AEM 6.x
