Hello Matt,
I am using a subset of the configuration files found in the the conf directory
of the official ActiveMQ release available here:
https://archive.apache.org/dist/activemq/5.16.2/apache-activemq-5.16.2-bin.tar.gz
The configuration files I kept are:
* activemq.xml
* jetty.xml
* log4j.properties
* logging.properties
Indeed, activemq.xml referenced credentials.properties. I commented out that
reference, and ActiveMQ works a bit better. It does show the following message
which is not looking good:
INFO | Database ${activemq.data}/kahadb/lock is locked by another server.
This broker is now in slave mode waiting a lock to be acquired
This is very odd because there is only one ActiveMQ broker running...
Any idea about what is going on?
Many thanks,
Fabrice

Hello Fabrice-
Please be mindful that is difficult to troubleshoot over an email thread
without seeing the changes you are making on your end. I suspect the top of
your conf/activemq.xml has the Properties file entry referencing the
conf/credentials.properties. Try removing that section from your
conf/activemq.xml and the broker should start up.
