[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ won't install via apt on ubuntu 12.04

[Orion Fillmore]

Hello,

First off, this is such an incredibly helpful list.  Thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way.

Ok, my current issue is that when I do a apt-get install per the rabbitmq.com install page, I get this error.   I check the s/var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log and /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_err and they give nothing more than timestamps with a success/fail message.  Nothing specific about whats going on.  So, I tried something else.  See after this code.

sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server

 rabbitmq-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Here is what I tried to get more info.
root at shinken:/var/lib# rabbitmqctl start_app
Starting node rabbit at shinken ...
Error: unable to connect to node rabbit at shinken: nodedown

DIAGNOSTICS
===========

nodes in question: [rabbit at shinken]

hosts, their running nodes and ports:
- shinken: [{rabbit,50111},{rabbitmqctl5964,47436}]

current node details:
- node name: rabbitmqctl5964 at shinken
- home dir: /var/lib/rabbitmq
- cookie hash: JjTKXh2A74lrJZ3+meAaAA==

And I then ran this (same result)
root at shinken:/var/lib# rabbitmqctl status
Status of node rabbit at shinken ...
Error: unable to connect to node rabbit at shinken: nodedown

DIAGNOSTICS
===========

nodes in question: [rabbit at shinken]

hosts, their running nodes and ports:
- shinken: [{rabbit,50111},{rabbitmqctl6261,39404}]

current node details:
- node name: rabbitmqctl6261 at shinken
- home dir: /var/lib/rabbitmq
- cookie hash: JjTKXh2A74lrJZ3+meAaAA==


I have read through some threads and read some things about my hostname being resolved.  I checked my /etc/hosts and I have a line with 127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.0.1 shinken.
This config works on another box of mine.   Also, my /etc/hostnames file just says "rabbit".

What should I be looking to do?

Thanks in advance.
