Environment Variables

Qpid Locations

...

The Qpid scripts set the classpath and other flags required for the broker to run.

Configuration

Configuration

We ship two example configuration files with the Java broker:

...

• Make sure you have set the QPID_HOME variable as specified above, and QPID_WORK if you don't want the default
• One of the config files (persistent_config.xml or transient_config.xml) supplied in the etc directory one level below your root dir probably doesn't need modification and should be passed in using -c and the path to your config file
• Then run the qpid-server script from the root dir of your install. (The qpid-server script also supports cygwin environments.)

...

Command Line Arguments

You can get a list of all command line arguments by using the -h argument.

...

Note that you may have to edit the log4j.xml in the /etc directory to add an appender for the server.Main class to see loggeds output like this on startup.

Running the Qpid Broker on Windows

...

So for example:
qpid-server.bat
