[rabbitmq-discuss] Startup errors redux

[Sam Odio]

I installed the rpm on Centos 5.2 (note the warning):
# rpm -i ./rabbitmq-server-1.7.2-1.i386.rpm
warning: ./rabbitmq-server-1.7.2-1.i386.rpm: Header V4 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 056e8e56

I then started rabbitmq-server:
# /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server start
Starting rabbitmq-server: FAILED - check /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log, _err
rabbitmq-server.

startup_log contents:
{"init terminating in do_boot",{{nocatch,{error,{cannot_start_application,rabbit,{bad_return,{{rabbit,start,[normal,[]]},{'EXIT',{undef,[{base64,encode_to_string,[<<16 bytes>>]},{rabbit,print_banner,0},{rabbit,start,2},{application_master,start_it_old,4}]}}}}}}},[{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}

startup_err contents:
Error: {node_start_failed,normal}
^M
Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump^M
init terminating in do_boot ()^M

it appears epmd is running:
# ps aux | grep rabbit
rabbitmq 11007  0.0  0.0  10568   384 ?        S    23:21   0:00 /usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.5.2/bin/epmd -daemon

Yet...
# /usr/sbin/rabbitmqctl status

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()

I'd include erl_crash.dump but it's 17,185 lines.  I did take Matthias' suggestion<http://markmail.org/message/ofw3i3zj5qjcxfns> and captured epmd's logs:

Where should I go from here?  Google is of no help...
