<div class="gmail_quote">RabbitMQ will create the database files itself; you don't need to do anything besides ensure the directory is there with the appropriate privileges (i.e. it is writable for the process that starts RabbitMQ). More specifically, ensure that /var/lib/rabbitmq and all its subdirectories are writable by the process that starts RabbitMQ.<br>
<br>However, you need to post more information to get effective help. Saying you got "this error" without posting the error message itself is not going to yield useful responses from the mailing list.<br><br>Information you should post includes:<br>
<ul><li>How did you start the broker (exact command line)?</li><li>Which operating system and version of Erlang are you using?</li><li>What is in the rabbit logs (on Linux, /var/log/rabbitmq/rabbit.log and rabbit-sasl.log)?<br>
</li><li>Did you faithfully follow every step of the RabbitMQ installation procedure?<br></li></ul>Take a look at <a href="http://www.catb.org/%7Eesr/faqs/smart-questions.html" target="_blank">http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html</a> for more ideas.<br>

hi devs,<br><br>I downloaded tarball of rabbit server and follow the installation guide. I've created a directory for MNESIA_BASE in /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/ and left other default.<br>But once I try to start the broker it gives me this error, and as a new user to RabbitMQ I have no idea about what Mnesia database is. In the installation guide it tells like this<br>
Defaults to
<code>/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia</code>. Set this to
the directory where Mnesia database files should be
placed.
<br><br>But there's no instruction of placing database files in to that location. Do we need that to start the erlang broker ?<br><br>can any body help me to start the broker and start playing with RabbitMQ.<br><br>
Thanks in advance<br><br>Regards<br>lahiru<br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><code></code><br>-- <br>East or West <br>Mahindians are the <br>Best... !
