Fresh install of Apache Directory Studio in macOS fails to start a new LDAP server

Question

I installed Apache Directory Studio version 2.0.0-M17 via this official download link. I launched the software from Launchpad and created a new LDAP server.

However, when I try to start the server, the status changes quickly from Starting to Stopped, and no logs are displayed. How can I debug the problem?

I tried to modify the ApacheDirectoryStudio.ini and uncommented the following lines to config the heap memory:

-Xms1g
-Xmx2g

I relaunched the Eclipse-based studio software, but the situation is the same.

Here are the apacheds.log:

Answer 1

I know this is an old post, but same thing happened to me March 2023 with a new install of Studio on a new Win 11 machine, and the latest (and recommended) Eclipse Temurin JDK 17. A bunch of MSG_13202_AT_IS_NULL messages.

I read an article suggesting going back to JDK 11. I uninstalled JDK 17, installed JDK 11 and it worked first go.

https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=11 is the link to the JDK that worked for me.
