rabbitmq-server doesn't start (crash in erlang)

[Cezary Baginski]

Binary package hint: rabbitmq-server

Doesn't start out-of-the-box.

How to reproduce:
===============

$ sudo /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server start
Starting rabbitmq-server: FAILED - check /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log, _err
rabbitmq-server.

Other:
=====
I don't have a config file in /etc/rabbitmq/ or /etc/default.

Sorry if this is a bug for a different package.

Can you post the contents of /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log, _err?

Thanks

Sorry for the missing log files.

[Cezary Baginski (cezary0)]

Second file.

The mnesia log file mentioned inside exists and has 0 bytes.

Removing rabbit_persister.LOG worked:

$ sudo rabbitmqctl status
Status of node rabbit@studio ...
[{running_applications,[{rabbit,"RabbitMQ","1.6.0"},
                        {mnesia,"MNESIA CXC 138 12","4.4.10"},
                        {os_mon,"CPO CXC 138 46","2.2.2"},
                        {sasl,"SASL CXC 138 11","2.1.6"},
                        {stdlib,"ERTS CXC 138 10","1.16.2"},
                        {kernel,"ERTS CXC 138 10","2.13.2"}]},
 {nodes,[rabbit@studio]},
 {running_nodes,[rabbit@studio]}]
...done.

Looks like it might have failed once since a previous version got installed.

Thanks, closing then.
