Answer 1

The error is telling you that there is either already a broker running or some other service running that is using the required ports that ActiveMQ want to bind its TCP transport and JMX service to. You can see this in the error string "Failed to bind to server socket: tcp://0.0.0.0:61616 due to: java.net.BindException: Address already in use:" and "Transport Connector could not be registered in JMX: Failed to bind to server socket: tcp://0.0.0.0:61616 due to: java.net.BindException: Address already in use:"

To resolve the issue you need to figure out what is running that is using those ports, or change the config to use other ports
