Hi,

The important part of the error is {invalid_dist_port_range,0}. Please read https://www.rabbitmq.com/networking.html#epmd-inet-dist-port-range and check your configuration.
If you can't find the problem - please share your configuration.

Best,

Hi,

Start by upgrading to a compatible version of Erlang. If you go to Erlang 21.3 you can then go to RabbitMQ 3.8.8. Check out this compatibility matrix: https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html

Oh, I didn't notice the Erlang version - yes, definitely upgrade Erlang (upgrading RabbitMQ itself to 3.8.14 rather than 3.8.8 is also a good idea).

Still same error after upgrading to rabbitmq 3.8.14 with erlang 23.3 version.

configuration seems correct and 3.7.7 version is working fine but whenever trying to upgrade getting error.

please suggest.

Still the same error so still the same advice - {invalid_dist_port_range,0} means that your configuration (either in a file or in an environment variable) sets the distribution port to 0, which is not a valid port.

The error is thrown here - as you can see it checks if the port is below 1 or above 65535 - these are the only two conditions for this error:

This part of the code changed significantly between 3.7 and 3.8. It could be that 3.7 silently ignored invalid settings or something - I don't remember. Check the settings and variables mentioned in the docs: https://www.rabbitmq.com/networking.html#epmd-inet-dist-port-range
