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

[Viehhauser, G. <gab...@il...>]

Hi Elisa,

thank you so much for your help (and for pointing to your inspiring Github-page, also the NLP-stuff looks amazing).

Unfortunately we could not fix the problem yet. Navigating to localhost throws an error (connection not found), since exist is not fully installed. The funny thing about the problem is that the the installation starts normally as if everything is ok, but then gets stuck near the end of the process. Since I am trying to help remotely, it is a bit complicated for me to check for firewalls and stuff like that…

Best
Gabriel

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…

Hi all,

please excuse, if this is a noob-question: I am trying to help a colleague to install existdb on her Windows10-machine (via video, which makes it a bit complicated). 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?

Thanks
Gabriel
