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

My brew version of rabbitmq refused to start (after working fine for years without modification by me) too.

$ cat /usr/local/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf
CONFIG_FILE=/usr/local/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq
NODE_IP_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
NODENAME=rabbit@localhost
RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE=/usr/local/var/log/rabbitmq

I edited out rabbit@ on NODENAME and brew services restart rabbitmq started working again.
