Looks like I’m answering one of my questions again, but maybe this will help someone in the future.
steps.
- I ended up getting activemq to work by creating a configuration file via running the command “./bin/activemq setup newConfig” (exclude the quotes)
- I then replaced the current config file “activemq” which was located at etc/default/. (I made a backup of the original activemq file before overwriting it with newConfig).
- Run “./bin/activemq start” which will create a PID file.
- After the file is created re-run “./bin/activemq start” to finally start up the broker.
You can then test the install by navigating to “http://localhost:8161/admin/” or by doing a “netstat -an | grep 61616” if you kept the default ports etc.
