Set JAVA_HOME and PATH
export JAVA_HOME=<Path to Java> export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
To start the process, extract binary tarball to /<source_root>/ and follow steps given below
export SOURCE_ROOT=/<source_root>/
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
cd $SOURCE_ROOT/<apache-activemq_binary_folder>/bin
./activemq console # Run ActiveMQ as a foreground process or
./activemq start # Run ActiveMQ as a daemon process-
Using the administrative interface
Open the administrative interface URL: http://<HOST_NAME>:8161/admin Login: admin Password: admin- Navigate to "Queues"
- Add a queue name and click create
- Send test message by clicking on "Send to"
Note: If the administrative interface is not accessible when the activemq process is up, you can have the following change and restart the activemq process
sed -i "s/127.0.0.1/0.0.0.0/" $SOURCE_ROOT/<apache-activemq_binary_folder>/conf/jetty.xml cd $SOURCE_ROOT/<apache-activemq_binary_folder>/bin ./activemq stop ./activemq console # Run ActiveMQ as a foreground process or ./activemq start # Run ActiveMQ as a daemon process

Logfile and console output
- If ActiveMQ is up and running without problems, the Unix command shell will display information similar to the following log line:
(see stdout output or
$SOURCE_ROOT/apache-activemq_binary_folder/data/activemq.log)INFO | Apache ActiveMQ 5.18.2 (localhost, ID:6d48ba2fefe3-43067-1681105731069-0:1) started
- If ActiveMQ is up and running without problems, the Unix command shell will display information similar to the following log line:
(see stdout output or
-
Listen port
- ActiveMQ's default port is 61616. From another window, run netstat command and search for port 61616.
netstat -nl | grep 61616 -
Get more ActiveMQ status
./activemq bstat -
Stopping ActiveMQ
./activemq stop
