Starting controller application server in default mode...

nohup: ignoring input and redirecting stderr to stdout
***** Controller application server started. Login URL is http://localhost:8090/controller *****

 

But the controller UI never loads.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for that link. I tried stopping and starting each component separately, as suggested:

  shell> cd <Controller_install_dir>/bin
  shell> ./controller.sh stop-appserver
  shell> ./controller.sh stop-db

  shell> ./controller.sh start-db
  shell> ./controller.sh start-appserver

But still had the same error on the start-appserver. I tried several times and verified each command did what it was supposed to. Finally, I brought up the Enterprise Console, and stopped and started the Controller from there, and it started successfully. Not sure if the EC does something different than the command line, or if it was just a timing issue, but it's currently up and running.

Hi, 
im facing the same problem. do you have any idea or workaround to solve this problem ?

The workaround is to bring up the Enterprise Console, and stop and start the Controller from there, instead of using command line commands. We have since migrated to a SaaS server, so we no longer have an on-prem controller.
