ActiveMQ change ports - port

Question

When I try to start my ActiveMQ broker, I get an address already in use error:
2015-01-17 18:41:32,828 | ERROR | Failed to start Apache ActiveMQ ([localhost, ID:Laptop-44709-1421516492312-0:1], java.io.IOException: Transport Connector could not be registered in JMX: Failed to bind to server socket: amqp://0.0.0.0:5672?maximumConnections=1000&wireFormat.maxFrameSize=104857600 due to: java.net.BindException: Die Adresse wird bereits verwendet)
I have tried to inspect the service running in port 5672 with netstat | grep, but it doesn't show the pid for some reason. So I tried changing the default port for amqp:
<!--

<transportConnector name="openwire" uri="tcp://0.0.0.0:61616?maximumConnections=1000&wireFormat.maxFrameSize=104857600"/>

<transportConnector name="ws" uri="ws://0.0.0.0:61614?maximumConnections=1000&wireFormat.maxFrameSize=104857600"/>
</transportConnectors>
However, when I try sudo /etc/init.d/activemq start, ActiveMQ ignores my config and keeps connecting to the port already in use.
Any ideas why?
I have been setting up ActiveMQ following this guide:

I faced the problem with the ActiveMQ configs (JMX in particular) when I used a simlink in init.d in Ubuntu. ActiveMQ started work fine after I had replaced the simlink with a script like:
#! /bin/sh
ACTIVEMQ_HOME="/opt/activemq"
case "$1" in
start)
$ACTIVEMQ_HOME/bin/activemq start
;;
stop)
$ACTIVEMQ_HOME/bin/activemq stop
;;
restart)
$ACTIVEMQ_HOME/bin/activemq restart
;;
status)
$ACTIVEMQ_HOME/bin/activemq status
;;
*)
echo "Valid commands: start|stop|restat|status" >&2
;;
esac
exit 0
