JMX/RMI issues when starting broker

Question

Hello fellow stackoverflowers.

I have been getting a quite nasty error while trying to start up my brokers with ActiveMQ. It seems that, for some reason, the management context tries to start up something that is already registered. The top of the stack trace reads:

[SpringOsgiExtenderThread-127] DEBUG org.apache.activemq.broker.jmx.ManagementContext - Failed to create local registry

Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?

Hi, can you post your configuration and how do you start the broker (and make sure no other brokers are running on the host)?
