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.
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.
