[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmqctl not reporting anything

[Greg Turnquist]

I started up the server as follows:
$ sudo rabbitmq-server

Trying to ping for some status, it appears the node is unreachable (all on the same machine).

$ sudo rabbitmqctl list_users
Listing users ...
Error: unable to connect to node 'rabbit at gturnquist-mbp': nodedown
diagnostics:

Since I'm trying to ping the server for exchanges, queues, and all that good stuff, this tool isn't working very well. Any clues?
