Thanks guys! I think I got off the track right at the beginning of Step 3: Orchestrate Microservices Using The Demo-server. It said “… consider manually orchestrating …”. I thought I needed to go to https://github.com/vishwasbabu/ProvisioningFineractCN. That is where it says start ActiveMQ. Which is why I did. I abandoned that effort when I realized that “consider” meant optional, and I did not really need to do that, since that whole key generation was getting a bit complicated on Windows 10. But then ActiveMQ was still running when I proceeded with the rest of the instructions to build. My bad! Because I had started ActiveMQ, initially demo-server immediately complained about not being able to use port 61616. In fact, the instructions say that this port should not be in use before starting demo-server. I guess I did not pay attention to that part until I got that error. I then stopped ActiveMQ, changed the port 61616 it was using, to 61615, and restarted it (doh!). Demo-server then ran for a long time. But then it gave me a slew of connection refused errors for port 61616, even though ActiveMQ was not using it, and not that the port was being used.
Regardless, I stopped ActiveMQ and this time ran with Command II in the documentation. I did not run into the connection refused error! This time I got some [DicoverClient-n] errors that c.n.discovery.TimedSupervisorTask – task supervisor timed out But demo-server kept going after those timeouts and has now been running for 3 hours with no message "INFO o.e.jetty.server.AbstractConnector - StoppedServerConnector@1bdb0376{HTTP/1.1,[http/1.1]}<mailto:StoppedServerConnector@1bdb0376%7bHTTP/1.1,%5bhttp/1.1%5d%7d>" written to any of the logs as yet. I guess I should have direct standard out to a log since it does not seem to be capturing everything in the logs and I might have just missed that message. I decided to proceed to step 4 but I get the following when I run npm i … c:\Apps\fineract-cn-demo-server>npm i npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'c:\Apps\fineract-cn-demo-server\package.json' npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json.

Thanks Awasum for the response. I think that's the issue too @Rohit, it's not necessary to configure a standalone ActiveMQ when running the demo-server. This library (https://github.com/apache/fineract-cn-command) helps to set up an embedded broker. Also, what is the state of this issue https://github.com/flyway/flyway/issues/2103 Warm regards.

So if you already have an activemq installed on your host, then thats what is causing the port in use exception. Hope this helps.

He ran into an issue: Could not connect to broker URL: tcp://localhost:61616. Reason: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused It so happens that 4 months later I have run into the exact same issue. Except that I am running everything on my Windows 10 laptop. Also, I installed and ran ActiveMQ on my laptop. In fact, the demo server got an error initially since it found that port 61616 was being used. So, I modified the activemq.xml file to change that port to avoid the conflict. Then the demo server started all the application services, and then at the end ran into the error above. You responded to Eric and said that you would provide a resolution to this problem. Don’t know if you have a resolution that I can use to move forward. The Demo server created the appropriate databases and keyspaces in PostgreSQL and Cassandra respectively.
