[rabbitmq-discuss] installation on rh5.5

[Alexis Richardson]

On the RPM section of our server downloads page it says this:
--
Note to users of RHEL 5 and derived distributions (e.g. CentOS 5): Due
to the EPEL package update policy, EPEL 5 contains Erlang version
R12B-5, which is relatively old. rabbitmq-server supports R12B-5, but
performance may be lower than for more recent Erlang versions, and
certain non-core features are not supported (SSL support, HTTP-based
plugins). Therefore, we recommend that you install the most recent
stable version of Erlang. The easiest way to do this is to use a
package repository provided for this purpose by the owner of the EPEL
Erlang package. Enable it by invoking (as root):

wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-erlang.repo
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/peter/erlang/epel-erlang.repo
and then install or update erlang with yum install erlang.

Let us know if this works.  Also, let us know how to make it easier
for people to find this info on the web site!
