[rabbitmq-discuss] Problem installing RabbitMQ with Puppet on CentOS 6.2

Fri Oct 5 07:05:07 BST 2012

Hi Everyone,

I encounter a strange problem when applying my puppet module I have created 
for installing RabbitMQ. To be more precise, I encounter the problem when 
enabling the plugins. 

The relevant resources look as follows:

$version = "2.8.7"
$url     = "http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-server/v${version}/rabbitmq-server-${version}-1.noarch.rpm"

package{"erlang":
    ensure => "present",
}

package{"rabbitmq-server":
    provider => "rpm",
    source   => $url,
    require  => Package["erlang"]
}

exec{"rabbitmq-plugins":
    path    => "/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin",
    command => "rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management",
    require => Package["rabbitmq-server"]
}

The error I get:

/Stage[main]/Rabbitmq/Exec[rabbitmq-plugins]/returns: erlexec: HOME must be set

/Stage[main]/Rabbitmq/Service[rabbitmq-server]: Dependency Exec[rabbitmq-plugins] has failures: true

The thing is, that HOME is set. Have checked that during a puppet run by 
creating an exec resource to echo HOME.

When I log into the box that I create with veewee and vagrant, I can 
execute "rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management" without any problems. 
But I always get the error from within puppet.

Starting rabbitmq-server leaves me with the following:

[{pid,2834},
{running_applications,[{rabbit,"RabbitMQ","2.8.7"},
                    {ssl,"Erlang/OTP SSL application","4.1.6"},

      {code,11416020},
      {ets,766168}]},

                {sockets_used,2}]},
{processes,[{limit,1048576},{used,131}]},
{run_queue,0},
{uptime,6}]

The whole puppet manifest can be found under

Also have posted this problem over at Serverfault<http://serverfault.com/questions/434942/veewee-vagrant-puppet-erlang-and-rabbitmq>
.

Any help is highly appreciated since I am totally stuck here.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
Tobi
