When trying to start InDesign CS6 Server: command not found

Report · Apr 24, 2013

Greetings,

I just installed InDesign CS6 Server, but when trying to run the application from terminal I get the following error: -bash: InDesignServer: command not found

I thought, maybe it had something to do with the licensing so I ran this command:

MacBook-Pro-van-Mario:~ mariovandeneynde$ cd /Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Application\ Manager/Enterprise/utilities/APTEE/CS6

MacBook-Pro-van-Mario:CS6 mariovandeneynde$ ./adobe_prtk --tool=StartTrial --leid=InDesignServer-CS6-Mac-GM

RESULT:

StartTrial Successful

Return Code = 0

So, I tried to launch IDS again, but always the same error.

Now, my mac isn't a MAC Server, as mentioned in the Tech Specs, but I don't think that should mind, cause the installation was successful.

So, anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Mario

Hi Mario,
What command do you use to start the InDesignServer? Are you in the right directory and do you use something like this? ./InDesignServer

Got it to work eventually.

I was calling "InDesignServer -port 12345"

But I had to call the indesignserver.command application instead. That did the trick!

Thanks!
