ActiveMQ Service not starting
Hi,
Firstly, I'd like to say that I know nearly nothing about how this works
correctly, but one of our teams has a problem with running ActiveMQ as a
service on a Windows 2003 server. They are running the command "activemq.exe
-install" to install the renamed JSL.exe as a service (they have an
activemq.ini file containing settings).
When running the service, it takes ages to start and then fails.
This was working as of yesterday and a DR system is still working perfectly.
I have been trying to work out what the matter is and cannot find any
differences between the two systems.
Can anyone point me towards a solution?
Regards,
Charles

Charles,
I have seen the log file being zero on occasion when the xml config file
was messed up (e.g., syntax error).
Can you start with a plain vanilla xml config (perhaps with minimal config)
and keep adding to it ('expanding ring' debugging) one at a time ?

I totally agree! My problem is that I have no idea where to start with
this...
Our App Team have been happily using this on one of their servers and it's
now started failing. They think it's something to do with the underlying OS,
but I am dubious about this.
As for logs, there is a configured log directory that contains
"ActiveMQ.log" and "ActiveMQ-C.log", both of which are of zero size. Nothing
is being logged into the OS Event logs, bar one saying the service
terminated unexpected. We also have seen the following error, but not each
time we've tried to start it, so it may be a red herring:
ActiveMQ error: 1063, StartServiceCtrlDispatcher failed
Version seems to be: ActiveMQ v3.2.2
The odd thing is that running it as an application using a batch file works
fine.
Regards,
Charles

Unfortunately there's not a whole lot to go on. Do you have a log for
the broker? Could you show us what the failure is? Which version are
you using?
