[rabbitmq-discuss] Rabbitmqctl issue

Wed Feb 20 14:36:26 GMT 2008

Eventually I was runnning rabbitmq-server directly.

Now when I try with the invoke-rc.d command, I get :
Kernel pid terminated (application_controller)
({application_start_failure,kernel,{shutdown,{kernel,start,[normal,[]]}}})

Thanks
Sebastien
