Public bug reported: Simply install ActiveMQ in Ubuntu 14.04:
sudo apt-get install activemq After install, enable the default instance sudo ln -s /etc/activemq/instances-available/main /etc/activemq /instances-enabled/main Restart ActiveMQ sudo service activemq restart Check it to see if it's actually running: ps aux | grep [j]ava Nothing. What about searching for something named 'active'? ps aux | grep [a]ctive Nothing. Let's run it in console mode sudo activemq console This fails with the following output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8152517/ It fails to create a directory at /usr/bin/activemq:367 due to "$ACTIVEMQ_DATA_DIR" not being defined yet. The real failure seems to be a classpath issue, as seen in the pastebin link. ** Affects: activemq (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1361831 Title: ActiveMQ fails to start on Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/activemq/+bug/1361831/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
