OK, still can&#39;t seem to get this working reliably.<br>
<br>
I was able to get a fresh install onto two servers to come up fine<br>
clustered together.  Woot!<br>
<br>
Tried to do the same thing with four servers and only the first one<br>
comes up; the others complain about bad cookies in table definition.<br>
If I&#39;m interpreting the log output correctly (big if), each node<br>
thinks it&#39;s in a cluster by itself; but they all have the same<br>
rabbitmq_cluster.conf file listing all four nodes.  I purged the<br>
rabbitmq-server install to make sure there wasn&#39;t any data lingering<br>
around from a previous config, but it still doesn&#39;t work.  Sample<br>
startup log below.  Any help appreciated.<br>
