[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ 2.2.0 message delivery issue: internal crash

Wed Aug 17 11:57:30 BST 2011

Hi,

We are experiencing an issue with version 2.2.0 which causes to
RabbitMQ to not deliver messages to a consumer.
The consumer is connected to RabbitMQ and performs a create queue/
exchange/binding when it is started but sometimes when there are
messages in the queue they are not being delivered by Rabbit.
Restarting the consumer (it is a windows service) does not solve the
problem and the consumer remains connected but without any message
although the queue contains 3000 messages.

I've found this in rabbitmq sals log file every time I restart the
service:

Note: "<presence><jid>username1 at domain.com</jid><status>offline</
status></presence>" is a message on the queue and
"domain.com.machinename.0.status" is the routing key.
