[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq cluster using IP

Mon Sep 19 10:10:15 BST 2011

Hi Bob,

Trying the solution mentioned later in that thread still seems to work.
So, to use IP addresses instead of just hostnames, replace the following
line in rabbitmq-server (it's almost at the bottom of the file)
      -sname ${RABBITMQ_NODENAME} \
with
      -name ${RABBITMQ_NODENAME} \

Then, do the same thing (replace "sname" with "name") in rabbitmqctl.
That's assuming you use Linux.  If you use Windows, you'll need to make
the changes in rabbitmq-server.bat, rabbitmq-service.bat and
rabbitmqctl.bat.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Alex
