[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ server fails to start on clustered erlang node

[Lars Sommer]

Environment:

*         Ubuntu Server 12.04

*         Erlang R16B03-1

*         Ejabberd 13.12

*         Cluster:

o   Server that is failing to start RabbitMQ is primary

o   3 additional "secondary" erlang nodes

Additional notes:

*         RabbitMQ is pulling default package from apt

o   "sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server"

o   At the service start phase it chokes: (copy-paste below)

?  Setting up rabbitmq-server (2.7.1-0ubuntu4) ...

?  Starting rabbitmq-server: FAILED - check /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_{log, _err}

?  rabbitmq-server.

?  invoke-rc.d: initscript rabbitmq-server, action "start" failed.

?  dpkg: error processing rabbitmq-server (--configure):

?   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

?  Errors were encountered while processing:

?   rabbitmq-server

?  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

*         Erlang cookie file was copied from the existing erlang nodes over to /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie

o   cp /var/lib/ejabberd/.erlang.cookie /var/lib/rabbitmq/

o   chown rabbitmq /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie

o   service rabbitmq-server start

?  Starting rabbitmq-server: FAILED - check /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_{log, _err}

o   ls /var/log/rabbitmq

?  startup_err

o   cat /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_err

?  Wed May 21 10:16:31 PDT 2014 - rabbitmq failed to start

?  Wed May 21 10:20:31 PDT 2014 - rabbitmq failed to start

Can anyone help me identify where my conflict might be? Clearly it has some sort of problem with the existing erlang cluster but I am not sure what it is.
