Running Multiple Instances of ActiveMQ on the same server

To run multiple instances of Apache ActiveMQ on the same server, it is required to do some configuration changes.

First, go to ActiveMQ installation directory.

cd ~/apache-activemq-5.8.0

Then create instance1 and instance2 by running the following commands.

./bin/activemq create instance1
./bin/activemq setup ~/.activemqrc-instance-instance1
ln -s activemq bin/activemq-instance-instance1

./bin/activemq create instance2
./bin/activemq setup ~/.activemqrc-instance-instance2
ln -s activemq bin/activemq-instance-instance2
