Thanks for the details.

One possible cause fopr your problem is that the hostname for your
machine returned by "hostname -s" does not actually resolve to a valid
IP address for your machine.  Could this be the case for you?

If it is, then you can fix it by creating a file
/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf containing the line:

NODENAME=rabbit at localhost

You can replace localhost with any other valid short hostname for your
machine, i.e. one not containing dots.
