[rabbitmq-discuss] Starting rabbitmq-server: FAILED

Mon Feb 20 21:21:47 GMT 2012

Greetings!

I am a newb to RabbitMQ and the whole Erlang thing :)

I compiled from source and installed RabbitMQ on my server (an Amazon EC2
instance). It was configured to run with CouchDB.

After that I tried to upgrade by using apt-get install. It did warn me that
it was upgrading from lesser than version 1.5.4 to version 1.6.0 and since
my database was different, it will take a backup but old settings will be
lost. I was fine with it.

Now rabbitmq-server does not start, complaining

Setting up rabbitmq-server (1.7.2-1ubuntu1) ...
Starting rabbitmq-server: FAILED - check /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log, _err
rabbitmq-server.
invoke-rc.d: initscript rabbitmq-server, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing rabbitmq-server (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 rabbitmq-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I tried apt-get remove rabbitmq-server and manually deleted the directory
/var/lib/rabbitmq and then again tried to do apt-get install but it gives
the same error.

Any help will be much appreciated!

startup logs are ...

# cat /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_err
Error: {node_start_failed,normal}

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
Kernel pid terminated (application_controller)
({application_start_failure,kernel,{shutdown,{kernel,start,[normal,[]]}}})
