[rabbitmq-discuss] Blocked/blocking connections & Memory fluctuations

[shridharan muthu]

Hello Simon,

   I tried restarting rabbitmq management and I got the following error. I
am not able to use port 15672 at all.

*sudo rabbitmqctl -n rabbit eval
'application:stop(rabbitmq_management),application:start(rabbitmq_management).'*
*{error,*
*    {bad_return,*
*        {{rabbit_mgmt_app,start,[normal,[]]},*
*         {'EXIT',*
*             {{{case_clause,*
*                   {error,*
*                       {no_record_for_listener,*
*                           [{port,55672},{ignore_in_use,true}]}}},*
*               [{rabbit_mochiweb_registry,handle_call,3},*
*                {gen_server,handle_msg,5},*
*                {proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]},*
*              {gen_server,call,*
*                  [rabbit_mochiweb_registry,*
*                   {add,rabbit_mgmt_redirect,*
*                       [{port,55672},{ignore_in_use,true}],*
*                       #Fun<rabbit_mochiweb.1.105980535>,*
*                       #Fun<rabbit_mochiweb.0.34137573>,*
*                       {[],"Redirect to port 15672"}},*
*                   infinity]}}}}}}*
*...done.*

So, Is there anyway bring it back up without restarting the app?

Shri
