[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmqctl not reporting anything

[Greg Turnquist]

I loaded rabbitmq 1.8.0. When I fire up rabbitmq-server, I see the following:
+---+   +---+
|   |   |   |

|   |   |   |
|   +---+   +-------+

| RabbitMQ  +---+   |

|   v1.8.1  +---+   |

rabbitmqctl tries to access the same node name:

gturnquist-mbp:~ gturnquist$ sudo rabbitmqctl list_exchanges
Listing exchanges ...
Error: unable to connect to node 'rabbit at gturnquist-mbp': nodedown
diagnostics:
- unable to connect to epmd on gturnquist-mbp: address
- current node: 'rabbitmqctl50582 at gturnquist-mbp'
- current node home dir: /opt/local/var/lib/rabbitmq
- current node cookie hash: WsSCWeum/oLXE3iNW2zauw==


I don't know where it decided to call the node rabbit at gturnquist-mbp. It is the local hostname, but I usually use gturnquist-mbp.local to reference my local LAN IP address. I don't see how to override this setting from either the server or the ctl script. It seems like an issue, because I thought doing all this on the same node would be out-of-the-box functionality.
