rabbitmq refusing to start

Question

I have installed rabbitmq on ubuntu and trying to start it using rabbitmq-server start, however, I\'m getting this error:

Activating Ra         


        

Answer 1

If the standard stop and start are not working, list the rabbitmq processes that are running using

ps aux | grep rabbitmq

Kill the beam.smp process using

kill -9 {process id} 

and start the rabbitmq-server again.
