<p>Hi Guys,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I installed Erlang R16B01 (otp_win32_R16B01.exe) last year on Windows Server 2008. Then installed rabbitmq-server-3.1.5.exe on top. Added the rabbitMQ management plugin and tweaked it a little bit by adding handle.exe. I made no other changes I can remember and
it just all worked brilliantly. Thanks for a great package.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>That was a good 3 months ago and it's been working flawlessly. I recently needed to upgrade and I've broken something.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Here's what's happened:<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I installed using rabbitmq-server-3.3.1.exe which correctly forced the removal of v3.1.5 first. Then I tried to add the management plugin and it said it was already there. Now the fun starts... no web management accessible. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Next I removed both Erlang and Rabbit and reinstalled otp_win64_17.0.exe (erl6.0) and then installed rabbit 3.3.1 on top. Still no joy with the web management so time for diagnostics.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Well, I first found out that for some reason HOMEDRIVE setting of z: crashed the service. That's fix by just setting home drive to c: reinstall rabbitMQ service and off we go... I thought. Well, not that easy. It's now changed the default port to 25672 (from
15672) and I can live with that, but I get a friendly page in chrome saying "no data received". Well, time to get a bit more hardcore...</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So I went ot the shell and thought I'd reset the rabbitMQ and I get:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<div>C:\Program Files (x86)\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.3.1\sbin>rabbitmqctl re<span style="font-size: 12pt;">set</span></div>
<div>Resetting node 'rabbit@SW-PROCESS' ...</div>
<div>Error: unable to connect to node 'rabbit@SW-PROCESS': nodedown</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>DIAGNOSTICS</div>
<div>===========</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>attempted to contact: ['rabbit@SW-PROCESS']</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>rabbit@SW-PROCESS:</div>
<div> * connected to epmd (port 4369) on SW-PROCESS</div>
<div> * epmd reports node 'rabbit' running on port 25672</div>
<div> * TCP connection succeeded but<strong> Erlang distribution failed</strong></div>
<div> * suggestion: hostname mismatch?</div>
<div> * suggestion: is the cookie set correctly?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>current node details:</div>
<div>- node name: 'rabbitmqctl3108369@SW-PROCESS'</div>
<div>- home dir: Z:\</div>
<div>- cookie hash: BgIviugom+F/F3cai8uQ0Q==</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>C:\Program Files (x86)\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.3.1\sbin><br>
</div>
<p><br>
I believe the hostname is fine, so how do I now get my rabbit to eat the correct Erlang cookie? <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
