As already mentioned in a previous blog<\/a>, ActiveMQ has been used in the scope of Alfresco since quite some time. Initially, as an optional component but then, it became mandatory. Just like for the Database, if ActiveMQ isn’t installed or not reachable, Alfresco will never completely start. Of course, for the Database, you will see that quickly since there will be errors on the Alfresco startup logs but that’s not really the case for ActiveMQ because it is only a subsystem and Alfresco will just quietly wait for this “Messaging” subsystem to be available before continuing the startup process. In this blog, I will show a case I faced recently where ActiveMQ wouldn’t start for a non-obvious reason and therefore Alfresco was stuck in the startup process as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can always try to disable the automatic startup of the “Messaging” subsystem (using “messaging.subsystem.autoStart=false<\/em>“) and you might want to disable the Event one as well. However, it should only stop the automatic startup of the subsystem, that doesn’t mean that it won’t be started later, on-demand. Another alternative could be to use the in-memory broker queue (using something like “messaging.broker.url=vm:\/\/localhost?broker.persistent=false<\/em>” and making sure you have the activemq broker jar loaded). These options are out of scope of this blog since I needed a real ActiveMQ installation, working.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, in case the startup of Alfresco is blocked on the “Messaging” subsystem, the logs will contain something like:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
As shown above, the last message during startup is “Starting ‘Messaging’ subsystem, ID: [Messaging, default]<\/em>“. After that, nothing happens anymore (remaining messages are related to license status and cluster management). As mentioned previously, this is because ActiveMQ is either not running at all, currently starting or just unreachable. Looking at the ActiveMQ logs showed the below:<\/p>\n
alfresco@alf01:~$ date\nFri Jul  9 12:18:01 CEST 2021\nalfresco@alf01:~$\nalfresco@alf01:~$ cat \/opt\/activemq\/logs\/activemq.log\n2021-07-09 12:14:33,968 | INFO  | Refreshing org.apache.activemq.xbean.XBeanBrokerFactory$1@130161f7: startup date [Fri Jul 09 12:14:33 CEST 2021]; root of context hierarchy | org.apache.activemq.xbean.XBeanBrokerFactory$1 | main\n2021-07-09 12:14:35,745 | INFO  | Using Persistence Adapter: KahaDBPersistenceAdapter[\/data\/activemq\/kahadb] | org.apache.activemq.broker.BrokerService | main\nalfresco@alf01:~$<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
ActiveMQ is apparently in the starting process but it is also stuck on the Persistence Adapter. Looking at the configuration and the current files present:<\/p>\n
alfresco@alf01:~$ grep -A2 \"<persistenceAdapter\" \/opt\/activemq\/conf\/activemq.xml\n        <persistenceAdapter>\n            <kahaDB directory=\"\/data\/activemq\/kahadb\"\/>\n        <\/persistenceAdapter>\nalfresco@alf01:~$\nalfresco@alf01:~$ ll \/data\/activemq\/kahadb\/\ntotal 180\ndrwxr-x--- 1 alfresco alfresco       52 Jul  9 12:14 .\/\ndrwxr-x--- 1 alfresco alfresco       12 Jul  9 12:14 ..\/\n-rw-r----- 1 alfresco alfresco        8 Jul  9 12:14 lock\nalfresco@alf01:~$<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
So, the lock file seems present but there is no DB yet. This usually happens when the lock wasn’t set yet. This environment is an Alfresco Cluster, with therefore multiple nodes and multiple ActiveMQ as well. The simplest setup in this case is to use a shared storage for the kahaDB (using NAS in this case). To debug the issue, I tried to start the ActiveMQ but with a local path, which isn’t on a NAS. It started properly:<\/p>\n

So, this issue is linked to the NAS. Since I already faced this kind of issue in the past years, I tried looking at the ports used by the NAS for the nlockmgr (Lock Manager):<\/p>\n
alfresco@alf01:~$ rpcinfo -p 10.10.1.101 | grep nlockmgr\n    100021    1   udp  52352  nlockmgr\n    100021    3   udp  52352  nlockmgr\n    100021    4   udp  52352  nlockmgr\n    100021    1   tcp  46364  nlockmgr\n    100021    3   tcp  46364  nlockmgr\n    100021    4   tcp  46364  nlockmgr\nalfresco@alf01:~$<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
I asked a colleague to look at the traces on the network layer, to see if something was being blocked\/dropped and he could confirm me that the issue was simply that the port tcp\/46364 was closed on the FireWall between the Alfresco\/ActiveMQ VM and the NAS. Opening the port allowed ActiveMQ to request a lock of the file and therefore to start properly while using the NAS (port opened ~6min after the startup):<\/p>\n
