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

[James Carr]

I thought I'd point out the original author solved his problems:
http://serverfault.com/questions/434942/veewee-vagrant-puppet-erlang-and-rabbitmq

Only posting this on the list to help others who come across it as I
had the exact same problem this evening. :)


Thanks,
James
