The main difference in starting in these two ways is that the server is
run as root in the latter case, rather than the "rabbitmq" user. The
failed startup also failed due to "undef" - i.e. the Erlang VM could not
find the definition for a module.
I therefore wonder if the permissions of the server code have been
changed somehow so that the "rabbitmq" user can't read it. If so, the
easiest way to fix the permissions is probably to remove the deb and
reinstall it.
Cheers, Simon
