[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ on OSX - Having Problems...

Sat May 16 19:30:29 BST 2009

Hi Tim,

The easiest way that I found to run RabbitMQ on OSX was to use the  
generic unix download - http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq- 
server/v1.5.4/rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-1.5.4.tar.gz

I installed Erlang via Macports so I unpacked the RabbitMQ .tar.gz  
into /opt/local/lib/erlang/lib

Then I run the server with the command -

sudo /opt/local/lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.5.4/sbin/rabbitmq- 
server -detached

The '-detached' option runs it in the background. I run it as root  
because by default it wants to write to /var/log and I haven't gotten  
around to changing things.

The rabbitmqctl command -

/opt/local/lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.5.4/sbin/rabbitmqctl

Obviously you can create aliases etc. to make life easier.

HTH :)

Regards,

Chris
