Another rabbitmq is running. Check your process list. Perhaps you have a<br>
monit/bluepill type watchdog restarting it?<br>

&gt; Greetings!<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I am a newb to RabbitMQ and the whole Erlang thing :)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I compiled from source and installed RabbitMQ on my server (an Amazon EC2<br>
&gt; instance). It was configured to run with CouchDB.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; After that I tried to upgrade by using apt-get install. It did warn me that<br>
&gt; it was upgrading from lesser than version 1.5.4 to version 1.6.0 and since<br>
&gt; my database was different, it will take a backup but old settings will be<br>
&gt; lost. I was fine with it.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Now rabbitmq-server does not start, complaining<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Setting up rabbitmq-server (1.7.2-1ubuntu1) ...<br>
&gt; Starting rabbitmq-server: FAILED - check /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log, _err<br>

&gt; Errors were encountered while processing:<br>
&gt;  rabbitmq-server<br>
&gt; E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I tried apt-get remove rabbitmq-server and manually deleted the directory<br>
&gt; /var/lib/rabbitmq and then again tried to do apt-get install but it gives<br>
&gt; the same error.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Any help will be much appreciated!<br>
