<div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>If you search this forum, you will see that I sent out a step-by-step guide to installing RabbitMQ. I have used this to install RabbitMQ successfully on both Ubuntu and OpenSuSE on multiple systems. If you would consider re-installing from scratch, following those instructions to the letter (it is important not to skip any steps), maybe this would help. Sometimes things just get so messed up that only a clean install will fix them. For example, if you start something as root when you shouldn't, and some file somewhere gets created with root as owner, and you get an inexplicable error when you start up as a different user, it can be hell to try to find that file especially when you didn't even know it existed :) Hmmm... actually, you can do an lsof and see which files rabbit is using. You may be surprised.<br>

<div>Ok, it was worth a try.<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;"><div style=""><div> Also, with this init script, I'd like to set my MNESIA_BASE path to something else which doesn't quite work either.</div>
</div></blockquote><div> </div><div>That's weird; I have changed the MNESIA_BASE path just fine. Be aware, though, that you can't just copy the files there, you need to start with an empty directory and let Rabbit recreate the databases. Then you have to add the users and permissions and so on.<br>
