That looks like Rabbit is not even trying to listen for SSL. Do you see 
something like

=INFO REPORT==== 13-Mar-2012::11:49:04 ===
started TCP Listener on [::]:5672

=INFO REPORT==== 13-Mar-2012::11:49:04 ===
started SSL Listener on [::]:5671

in the logs? Or is there an error? What does your config file look like?

The SSL dependencies haven't changed much since 1.8.0. SSL support in 
newer Erlang is more robust, but if it was working for you with R13B03 
and 1.8.0 then it should work with R13B03 and 2.7.1.

I'm not sure, but I suspect Erlang R15B will not work with 1.8.0. 
Various bits of deprecated API have been removed, and I imagine 1.8.0 
used them.

Cheers, Simon
