Unable to start Active MQ on Linux

Question

I am trying to get ActiveMQ server running on a RaspberryPI Debian Squeeze box and all appears to be installed correctly but when I try and start the service I am getting the following...

root@raspberrypi:/var/www/activemq/apache-activemq-5.7.0# bin/activemq

INFO: Loading '/etc/default/activemq'

INFO: Using java '/usr/jre1.7.0_07/bin/java'

/usr/jre1.7.0_07/bin/java: 1: /usr/jre1.7.0_07/bin/java:ELF0

                                                       4°: not found

/usr/jre1.7.0_07/bin/java: 2: /usr/jre1.7.0_07/bin/java: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Tasks provided by the sysv init script:

restart         - stop running instance (if there is one), start new instance

console         - start broker in foreground, useful for debugging purposes

status          - check if activemq process is running

setup           - create the specified configuration file for this init script

                  (see next usage section)

Configuration of this script:

The configuration of this script can be placed on /etc/default/activemq or /root/.activemqrc.

To use additional configurations for running multiple instances on the same operating system

rename or symlink script to a name matching to activemq-instance-<INSTANCENAME>.

This changes the configuration location to /etc/default/activemq-instance-<INSTANCENAME> and

$HOME/.activemqrc-instance-<INSTANCENAME>. Configuration files in /etc have higher precedence.

root@raspberrypi:/var/www/activemq/apache-activemq-5.7.0#

It looks like there is an error somewhere but I am a fairly newbie at this and don't know where to look.

Answer 1

Just adding an answer since,becoz as per the documentation , the command is wrong

to start activemqm, use

Navigate to [installation directory/bin] and run ./activemq start or simple bin/activemq start

if you want to see it live in a window use bin/activemq console

To stop, you have to kill the process

The default ActiveMQ "getting started" link sends u here : http://activemq.apache.org/getting-started.html which is the "Getting Started Guide for ActiveMQ 4.x".

If you scroll down main documentation page, you will find this link with the proper commands : http://activemq.apache.org/version-5-getting-started.html
