By "change" do you mean "rename", so you retain the existing data across the move? That wouldn't be a good idea - mnesia can get very confused if you its dirs between nodes.<div class="Ih2E3d">
</div></blockquote><div><br>Yes, I meant rename the directory on disk, but just within the same filesystem. Actually, I did a cp -R so the original directory was untouched. As it turns out, mnesia didn't seem to mind, so maybe I just got lucky this time. Even so, this is not a production system so I don't mind too much if I have to reinitialize RabbitMQ.<br>

Firstly, rabbit_multi.erl hard-codes the node name "rabbit":<br>

I filed a bug for that a few days ago.</blockquote><div><br>I haven't looked very hard for this, but is there a bug tracker for RabbitMQ that I can get to, and look for reported bugs so as not bug ;-) you guys unnecessarily?<br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">As I said above, the scripts and supporting code were designed for -sname, not -name. However, they can probably be adjusted to cope with the latter. We will look into that.<div class="Ih2E3d">
</div></blockquote><div> <br>I want to use -name because I will have applications running on a fully-qualified node (-name) that will be doing rpc:call()s to the rabbit node (to access the queue management functions), and I can't do that if Rabbit is running -sname and my stuff is running -name. I suppose I could do it all over TCP/IP but I really don't want to at this stage. Hopefully this clarifies my desire to use -name.<br>

Just prior to this, to add insult to injury, the code blasts any environment values that might have existed.<br>

Indeed. I filed a bug for that a few days ago too.</blockquote><div><br>Darn. I really need to find that bug tracker :)<br> <br></div><div>Thanks so much for your attention and responsiveness. It bodes well for RabbitMQ as a product.<br>
