Re: [Exist-open] installation stops at step 8 - windows

[Elisa Beshero-B. <ebb...@gm...>]

Hi Gabriel,
I asked my students (on Windows and Mac) to try installing eXist locally a couple of months ago, and they had a range of issues with it. I think I recorded most of those in a set of instructions on our class GitHub as we figured things out: see if any of this helps (look for the Windows-specific instructions): https://github.com/newtfire/textAnalysis-Hub/blob/main/Install-eXist-dB.md

And, before you start digging around or starting over, have you opened a web browser and navigated to localhost:8080 ? When you do, what do you see? 

Good luck! Windows can be tricky with Java issues and firewalls…

We are using the jar-file, the installation process starts normally, but gets stuck at step 8 of 9 (without any visual error-message). Any ideas, what could be the problem?
