[rabbitmq-discuss] Can't get rabbitMQ to restart after switching machines -- some kind of DB error...?

[Abe]

I'm running a django/celery app on EC2, with rabbitmq as the broker. The machine
I was using failed, so I fired up another instance. But since switching to the
new machine, I haven't been able to get rabbitmq-server to start up.

Here's the output:


$ sudo rabbitmq-server start

There's also an erlang daemon process running in the background.  I'm not sure
if this is important or not.

$ ps aux | grep rabbit
rabbitmq   714  0.0  0.0   1980   412 ?        S    Dec04   0:01
/usr/lib/erlang/erts-5.7.4/bin/epmd -daemon

Any ideas on how to further diagnose/solve this problem?


Thanks in advance!
