Thanks for the update.

I think the current service file isn't right, tho: The type's still forking, but java -jar activemq.jar doesn't fork, nor does it write a PID file. As far as I understand both of these things come from the service wrapper used by the shell script (which exists to add all those service things like PID files and forking to Java apps). If you don't use this wrapper I think you have to use simple as type, and then systemd handles the forking and stuff itself. The PIDFile option isn't used in this case. The service file would look like this then:

[Unit]
Description=Messaging and Integration Patterns provider
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /opt/activemq/bin/activemq.jar start

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

To use the forking type you need to use the activemq shell script which forks; in this case PIDFile must point to the actual PID file written by activemq (somewhere under /opt/activemq…/data I think).

Please remove >/dev/null 2>&1 from ExecStart in service. ExecStart is no shell command, so the redirection has no effect (check systemctl status); the service starts only by coincidence, because activemq seems to ignore excess arguments.

The systemd.service manpage also recommends to set PIDFile for forking daemons, but why not switch to simple and use console instead of start, and thus let systemd handle all the forking? You could then even use just java -jar /opt/activemq/bin/activemq.jar start as ExecStart, which would have the added benefit of making activemq's output appear in systemctl status activemq and journalctl.

Try running with the default settings. Must earn properly. Then make further adjustments. Perhaps you need to reboot after installation. Or run the command: source /etc/profile.d/activemq.sh. And then run the service activemq.

Replace symbol link /usr/share/webapps/activemq with /usr/share/webapps/activemq-demo. And then the demo will work.

Doing a: ps aux | grep activemq

We can see that those paths are being formed with a double slash.

Hi 4le34n, thanks for maintaining this package.

Just after finishing the installation I try to get the service up:

/opt/activemq/bin/activemq console

Accessing http://localhost:8161/admin/ doesn't work, in order to navigate it, I have to:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/webapps/activemq /opt/activemq/webapps

Maybe this tweak can be added for the next release.

PS: The http://localhost:8161/demo/ doesn't work either

Is the web management console included in this package? I can't see that it has started in the startup trace.

Everything works.

Your service is bogus. The redirect can't work, because ExecStart= is no shell. Just drop everything after the »start«
