You don't say which packaging you're using; I shall assume deb or RPM.

You can put

MNESIA_BASE=/home/rabbitmq/db
LOG_BASE=/home/rabbitmq/logs

into /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf and restart RabbitMQ, this will 
start afresh in the new location (make sure it is owned by the rabbitmq 
user!)

If you need to move over the existing DB, it will be found in 
/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia.

Cheers, Simon
