Could not connect to ActiveMQ Server - activemq for mcollective failing - activemq

We are continuously getting this error:
2014-11-06 07:05:34,460 [main ] INFO SharedFileLocker - Database activemq-data/localhost/KahaDB/lock is locked... waiting 10 seconds for the database to be unlocked. Reason: java.io.IOException: Failed to create directory 'activemq-data/localhost/KahaDB'
We have verified that activemq is running as activemq, we have verified that the owner of the directories are activemq. It will not create the directories automatically, and if we create them ourselves, it still gives the same error. The service starts fine, but it will just continuously spit out the same error. There is no lock file as it will not generate any files or directories.

Another way to fix this problem, in one step, is to create the missing symbolic link in /usr/share/activemq/. The permissions are already set properly on /var/cache/activemq/data/, but it seems the activemq RPM is not creating the symbolic link to that location as it should. The symbolic link should be as follows: /usr/share/activemq/activemq-data -> /var/cache/activemq/data/. After creating the symbolic link, restart the activemq service and the issue will be resolved.

I was able to resolve this by the following:
ensure activemq is owner and has access to /var/log/activemq and all sub dirs.
ensure /etc/init.d/activemq has: ACTIVEMQ_CONFIGS="/etc/sysconfig/activemq"
create file activemq in /etc/sysconfig if it doesnt exist.
add this line: ACTIVEMQ_DATA="/var/log/activemq/activemq-data/localhost/KahaDB"
The problem was that activeMQ 5.9.x was using /usr/share/activemq as its KahaDB location.

RabbitMQ service start failure due to bad .erlang cookie location

Erlang crashes on rabbitMQ service start, due to bad unable to create erlang.cookie path Image Attached (Log File). I need to figure out why it's adding an extra c: to the beginning of the path, and where that's defined. Any suggestions. I've uninstalled and deleted everything relating to rabbitMQ multiple times. include the registry items and environment variables.

RabbitMQ_MQTT failing to start

I am trying to enable mqtt in rabbitmq. Plugin has been enabled successfully but when I make the changes in the config for rabbitmq_mqtt, it fails to start the service. Even after googling a lot, I am not able to see the same issue being raised.
RabbitMQ_MQTT is failing to load even when the port is available.
Starting broker...

You need to check the log in /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log or /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_err. It is very possible that your changes for the config file is causing the problem. Usually, it's the syntax of the config file causing the problem. If you are using the classic format, it's array like syntax, having extra comma or missing comma could also prevent you from starting the service.

ActiveMQ 5.15 HTTP ERROR: 503

Run environment :linux (CentOS 7), JDK 1.8, & ActiveMQ 5.15
I started Activemq then visit the management page with Chrome,when I try to log in with the default username & password I get the following error;
HTTP ERROR: 503
Problem accessing /admin/. Reason:
Service Unavailable Powered by Jetty://
How can I resolve this problem?
I was getting this same error. It turns out that I had run it as root user originally, then later I stopped it and ran it as a non-root user. Certain data files that had been created and owned by the original root instance were not accessible to the non-root user.
Check the ownership of the files, and change them if necessary to match the user that the broker is running as.
Had the same issue.
Maybe something went wrong the extraction of the package.
I downloaded this:
wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/activemq/5.15.0/apache-activemq-5.15.0-bin.tar.gz
and extracted it with:
sudo tar -zxvf apache-activemq-5.15.0-bin.tar.gz -C /opt
then it worked for me.
My two cents:
I start with the activemq in Ubuntu Repo, but then later change to binary package from official website.
In my case, the repo version left an /etc/default/activemq config file, which runs activemq with user "activemq". It turns out in previous experiments, I did not kill the old processes running under "activemq" when I start activemq under my own user name. There are two activemq processes running under different user names, and when connecting to admin console, I have a 503.
I delete the /etc/default/activemq file, and kill all activemq processes running under "activemq", then restart activemq with my user name, the 503 is gone.

RabbitMQ SSL Clustering on Windows Breaks rabbitmqctl

I'm trying to follow the steps in the RabbitMQ docs here to get clustering with SSL working on Windows. I'm noticing though that the "rabbitmqctl status" command starts failing after the environment variables defined in those steps are set. I'm getting the following error when executing "rabbitmqctl status":
Error: unable to connect to node 'rabbit#server1': nodedown
I've already configured RabbitMQ to use TLS 1.2 and have verified that it's working. I've ensured that my Erlang 18 cookie is the same in the user directory C:\users\me and C:\Windows on the machine, but the error persists, and is stopping other servers from clustering with it. The docs say that the Windows SSL Cluster setup is "Coming soon"... Here are the steps I've taken so far on server1. I think that Erlang wants forward slashes in the paths - this matches the rabbit.config SSL settings.
Combined the contents of my server\cert.pem and server\key.pem into rabbit.pem via the command "type server\cert.pem server\key.pem > server\rabbit.pem"
Created environment variable ERL_SSL_PATH and set to: "C:/Program
Files/erl7.0/lib/ssl-7.0/ebin"
Created environment variable RABBITMQ_CTL_ERL_ARGS and set to: -pa "%ERL_SSL_PATH%" -proto_dist inet_tls -ssl_dist_opt server_certfile C:/OpenSSL-Win64/server/rabbit.pem -ssl_dist_opt server_secure_renegotiate true client_secure_renegotiate true
Created environment variable RABBITMQ_SERVER_ADDITIONAL_ERL_ARGS and set to same value as RABBITMQ_CTL_ERL_ARGS
Copied the erlang cookie at C:\Windows.erlang.cookie to my local user profile directory.
Restarted rabbit using rabbitmq-service start
At this point, on server1, "rabbitmqctl status" no longer works. Attempts to try to join server2 to server1 result in a "node down" error.
Edit 1: I can't get the initial step in the docs working to ask Erlang to report its SSL directory on Windows in order to set ERL_SSL_PATH correctly. Erlang is installed at C:\Program Files\erl7.0 on my server.
Edit 2: Using werl.exe (at C:\Program Files\erl7.0\bin\werl.exe), I was able to issue a command "Foo=io:format(code:lib_dir(ssl, ebin))." and it reported the path as: c:/Program Files/erl7.0/lib/ssl-7.0/ebin. However, this doesn't seem to be the cause of the this issue since that's already what I was using.
Thanks,
Andy
For environment changes to take effect on Windows, the service must be
re-installed. It is not sufficient to restart the service. This can be
done using the installer or on the command line with administrator
permissions
(source)
This will do:
rabbitmq-service.bat stop
rabbitmq-service.bat remove
rabbitmq-service.bat install
rabbitmq-service.bat start
Also, if while the node you're working on is down, the other cluster nodes were running, their state might be assumed to have gone out of sync. In that case, the node might fail to start up and you might need to:
rabbitmqctl force_boot
Check the logs to confirm. (at %RABBIT_BASE%\log\rabbit#server.log)
Late answer but, hopefully this could help a searcher...

ERROR: The overall deployment failed because too many individual instances failed deployment

I'm trying to deploy using CircleCI -> S3 -> CodeDeploy -> EC2.
I was able to upload deploy image onto S3 from CircleCI, but unable to deploy S3 to EC2 instance. Here's the error.
The overall deployment failed because too many individual instances
failed deployment, too few healthy instances are available for
deployment, or some instances in your deployment group are
experiencing problems. (Error code: HEALTH_CONSTRAINTS)
The error was provided from CodeDeploy. I can't figure out why and how.
I'd appreciate if you give some advise.
If you are running on Ubuntu there might be plenty of reasons, here is a checklist can verify
Check code-deploy agent is installed on your EC2 Instance. Please refer this document to install code deploy agent.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/codedeploy-agent-operations-install-ubuntu.html
$ sudo service codedeploy-agent status
In case if you are running Ubuntu release 20.x and you get this error
./install:22:in block in method_missing': undefined method path' for
#<IO:> (NoMethodError)
try running the install file via this script
sudo ./install auto > /tmp/logfile
Check you have EC2 Instance Code Deploy Role -> Create a code deployment role and assign it to the Instance, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/getting-started-create-service-role.html.
In case if you assign the EC2 Role after initiate, restart the server.
Check your appsec.yml file placement as per the top answer, try to avoid any long timeout in it.
Log into your instance check your error log
$ tail -f /var/log/aws/codedeploy-agent/codedeploy-agent.log
You should be able to figure out what caused the individual instances to fail by digging into the deployment instance details:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/how-to-view-instance-details.html
These should contain more detailed information about why your application was unable to be deployed.
This error is commonly due to problems in the configuration of the appSpec.yml or appSpec.json file (It depends on the format you are using).
"If you have any Hook I recommend that you remove them, check if it works, then you can add one by one (the Hooks) and so you can identify the error"
The appspec.yml file should be located at the root of your project:
│-- appspec.yml
│-- index.html
└-- scripts
│-- install_dependencies
│-- start_server
└-- stop_server
In the scripts folder you will have to place the processes that you want to be executed according to the Hook
Here is an example of the appspec.yml file
version: 0.0
os: linux
files:
- source: /index.html
destination: /var/www/html/
hooks:
BeforeInstall:
- location: scripts/install_dependencies
timeout: 300
runas: root
- location: scripts/start_server
timeout: 300
runas: root
ApplicationStop:
- location: scripts/stop_server
timeout: 300
runas: root
I hope I can help you 😃👻🕺🏾
Make sure the CodeDeploy Host Agent Service is running in your target EC2 instance.
The error you are facing is a generic error message thrown on any of the event failure which could be beforeblockTraffic, blockTraffic, ApplicationStop etc.
The first step in this case would be check whether code deploy agent is running or not if first event i.e. BeforeBlockTraffic event is failed.
As you can see in the screenshot below, the event failure message would tell you the exact error behind.
From the failed deployments, I can see all lifecycle events were skipped. Instance i-0bcc36e73851297f2 is currently in Stopped state but I can see the IAM instance profile is missing. Your Amazon EC2 instances need permission to access the Amazon S3 buckets or GitHub repositories where the applications that will be deployed by AWS CodeDeploy are stored. To launch Amazon EC2 instances that are compatible with AWS CodeDeploy, you must create an additional IAM role, an instance profile. 1
For such failures, you can always begin with a general troubleshooting checklist for a failed deployment 2 and then look for troubleshooting guides on Deployment Issues and Instance issues3.

3 [http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/troubleshooting.html]3
Check the status of the Code Deploy Agent. In my case, the agent wasn't up.
Please check the role given to the ec2 machine(where the agent is running). It should have s3 access as well. This resolved my issue.
"The CodeDeploy agent did not find an AppSpec file within the unpacked revision directory at revision-relative path 'appspec.yml'"
Please place your appspec.yml file in your root folder to solve this error
