activemq apollo create broker error

Question

I have been trying to create a broker on my activemq apache-apollo 1.6 installation. When I execute the following command:

$APOLLO_HOME/bin/apollo create log1broker

I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /usr/local/lib64/activemq/apache-apollo-1/6
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: .usr.local.lib64.activemq.apache-apollo-1.6

Could not find the main class: /usr/local/lib64/activemq/apache-apollo-1.6. Program will exit.

Answer 1

This happens because the apollo startup script assumes your PWD is $APOLLO_HOME.

Do it in this order instead:

$ cd $APOLLO_HOME
$ ./bin/apollo create log1broker
