2.2. Running the Broker at the command line

2.2.1. Start the Broker at the command line

Start the Broker

  1. By default, the broker is installed in /usr/sbin/. If this is not on your path, you need to type the whole path to start the broker:
    /usr/sbin/qpidd -t
    You will see output similar to the following when the broker starts:
    [date] [time] info Loaded Module: libbdbstore.so.0
    [date] [time] info Locked data directory: /var/lib/qpidd
    [date] [time] info Management enabled
    [date] [time] info Listening on port 5672
    
    The -t or --trace option enables debug tracing, printing messages to the terminal.
    Note: The locked data directory /var/lib/qpidd is used for persistence, which is enabled by default.
