[rabbitmq-discuss] newbie problem--'Error: unable to connect to node 'rabbit at rabbitmq-small02-dev': nodedown'

[John Stoner]

ok...

still getting

March 16, 2012 @ 08:54:01PM: ~
[jstoner at rabbitmq-small02-dev]> sudo rabbitmqctl cluster
rabbit at rabbitmq-small01-dev
Clustering node 'rabbit at rabbitmq-small02-dev' with
['rabbit at rabbitmq-small01-dev'] ...
Error: {no_running_cluster_nodes,['rabbit at rabbitmq-small01-dev'],
                                 ['rabbit at rabbitmq-small01-dev']}


I changed the rabbitmq.config to

[
                {kernel,
                        [{inet_dist_listen_min, [some number]},
                         {inet_dist_listen_max, [another number]}]
                }
].


on both servers, and restarted.

I think we have the right ports open now.

The erlang cookie matches.

seeing traffic on 4369, but not the other ports.

What else could be wrong?
