[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq-server doesn't seem to read my cluster config file

Thu Nov 25 19:53:20 GMT 2010

I have been running into the same issue.  Clustering works fine using
the clustering transcript in the doc e.g.,

rabbit2$ rabbitmqctl stop_app
Stopping node rabbit at rabbit2 ...done.
rabbit2$ rabbitmqctl reset
Resetting node rabbit at rabbit2 ...done.
rabbit2$ rabbitmqctl cluster rabbit at rabbit1
Clustering node rabbit at rabbit2 with [rabbit at rabbit1] ...done.
rabbit2$ rabbitmqctl start_app
Starting node rabbit at rabbit2 ...done.

etc...

However using the auto-configuration sections of the docs has not worked.

I tried adding

[
  {rabbit, [
  	{cluster_nodes, ['rabbit at rabbit1', 'rabbit at rabbit2']}
  ]},
].

to the rabbitmq.config file and got a syntax error.  Then tried

[
  {rabbit, [
  	{cluster_nodes, ['rabbit at rabbit1', 'rabbit at rabbit2']}
  ]}
].

removing the comma and it did not cluster.  Then tried

['rabbit at rabbit1', 'rabbit at rabbit2']

in the rabbitmq_cluster.config file and it did not cluster.

I am at a lost as to what I am doing wrong.  We would like to use the
auto-configuration for an easier CM deployment.  Any insight as what
is wrong would be appreciated.
