[rabbitmq-discuss] Rabbit Crash on Startup

[Edwin Fine]

Pete,

This is the procedure I use to install RabbitMQ on Ubuntu, which is Debian
based. You don't necessarily have to do it all, but if you do, I am sure it
will work.

   1. Ensure Erlang is installed. I recommend the latest R12 release.
   2. Download rabbitmq-server-1.4.0.tar.gz from the www.rabbitmq.com site.
   The current link is
   http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/binary/rabbitmq-server-1.4.0.tar.gz, but
   this may change in future. Then type in the following command lines.
   $ sudo bash; cd /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib
   $ tar xfz $SOME_DIR/rabbitmq-server-1.4.0.tar.gz
   $ groupadd rabbitmq
   $ useradd -c 'RabbitMQ Control Account' -m -d /home/rabbitmq -G
   erts,rabbitmq -s /bin/bash rabbitmq
   $ passwd rabbitmq # Add some suitable password
   $ chown -R rabbitmq:rabbitmq
   /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.4.0
   $ cd /usr/local/sbin
   $ ln -s /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.4.0/sbin/rabbitmqctl
   .
   $ ln -s
   /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.4.0/sbin/rabbitmq-multi .
   $ ln -s
   /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.4.0/sbin/rabbitmq-server .
   $ mkdir -p /var/log/rabbitmq; chown -R rabbitmq:rabbitmq
   /var/log/rabbitmq
   $ mkdir -p /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia; chown -R rabbitmq:rabbitmq
   /var/lib/rabbitmq
   3. Ensure that port 5672 is in /etc/services for both tcp and udp. It may
   already be there, named amqp (RabbitMQ is an AMQP implementer). If not, add
   it to /etc/services:
   4. amqp            5672/tcp   # AMQP
   amqp            5672/udp   # AMQP
   5. Start RabbitMQ

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Edwin Fine
