The ACC is installed in default location: ~/ATG/ACC11.1

This does not work OOTB. You must set 2 additional ENV properties

cd ~/ATG/ACC11.0
export ACC_HOME=`pwd`
export JAVA_VM=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_51//bin/java
bin/startClient &

After this fix, the ACC starts clean in-server as well.

What also helped (found out independently) was adding protocol.jar into lib directory of ACC

Note

As soon as there are any custom classes in project, in order to open them, 2 things needs to happen

Manifest-Version: 1.0
ATG-Config-Path: config/
ATG-Required: DSS DPS
ATG-Class-Path: classes/ testclasses/ lib/apache-commons/commons-lang-2.6.jar
ATG-Client-Class-Path: lib/classes.jar
ATG-Assembler-Import-File: true


Name: lib/classes.jar
ATG-Client-Update-File: true
ATG-Client-Update-Version: 1.0

After this it works:
