[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ hangs, does not accept connections

[Simon MacMullen]

Hmm. I can't really say anything from your description - can you post 
the logs somewhere? It's possible that your definition of "nothing 
unusual in the logs" differs from mine.

And when you say that "the server refused attempts to connect", what 
exactly do you mean. You say that a TCP connection *could* be 
established - so does your client hang during AMQP handshaking? 
Disconnect? Something else?

Cheers, Simon
