1.4b2 is not yet released. We'll release that this week.

1.4b2?

wget http://download.imatix.com/openamq/unstable/OpenAMQ-1.4b2.tar.gz

Is there a location where to download the version 1.4b2?

Done

Changed for 1.4b2:

- archive_path setting merged into log-path setting
- default for log-path setting is '/var/log/openamq'
- if log path is not writeable, openamq complains but runs anyhow

Suggested design

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:30:21 +0000

The following design should work nicely for both a "system" OpenAMQ (installed from a package) and an installation in a normal user account. It also has the advantage of not breaking existing functionality such as the ability to run multiple instances of OpenAMQ from a single user account.

Logging defaults to "/var/lib/openamq/…". If this path is writable at server startup time, use it for logging, but tell the user you are doing so:

I: Logging to '/var/log/openamq/…'

If not, print a suitable message and don't log anywhere, e.g.

W: Log directory '…' is not writable, logging to file disabled.
W: Please set the configuration variable 'whateveritis' to enable logging.

People who want the old behaviour can just set the log path to '.'

Also, we probably want to merge "log-path" and "archive-path" into a single setting.
