[rabbitmq-discuss] Startup errors redux

[Sam Odio]

I have erlang vR11B-2.3.el5

This is how I installed it:
# su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm'
# yum install erlang


It appears it was installed from EPEL.
# yum info erlang

Hi Sam,

I installed the rpm on Centos 5.2 (note the warning):

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}]}}

This suggests you have an old version of erlang (prior to R11B5, which
is the earliest 1.7.2 supports).  How did you install erlang, and
which version is it?  Could you try with erlang installed from EPEL?
