[rabbitmq-discuss] Running RabbitMQ server as embedded application

Tue Mar 26 12:18:41 GMT 2013

Hi folks, I'm trying to run a RabbitMQ server the OTP way, but it's
becoming harder than I thought. I added all dependencies to my
release, but when I run application:start(rabbit), I get the following
error:

[...]
-- rabbit boot start
starting file handle cache server                                     ...done
starting worker pool                                                  ...done
starting database                                                     ...

BOOT FAILED
===========

Error description:

    {rabbit,start,2,[{file,"src/rabbit.erl"},{line,440}]}]

But of course there are no clusters and there had never been (fresh run).

Has anybody managed to do this? There has to be a way to embed the
RabbitMQ server in your own applications.
