[rabbitmq-discuss] crash! : on Ubuntu inside VirtualBox inside Windows 7

[Nick Perkins]

Help!

I am a bit of a noob on linux, and I am struggling to get RabbitMQ up
and running...
I installed Ubuntu ( 10.10 ) inside a VirtualBox on Windows 7
( i know thats not ideal, but it should still work, right? )

I downloaded the latest RabbitMQ 2.1.1
I have Erlang 13b
When I run "sudo rabbitmq-server", I get this:

{error_logger,{{2010,11,6},{10,43,45}},"Protocol: ~p: register error:
~p~n",["inet_tcp",{{badmatch,{error,duplicate_name}},[{inet_tcp_dist,listen,1},{net_kernel,start_protos,4},{net_kernel,start_protos,3},{net_kernel,init_node,2},{net_kernel,init,1},{gen_server,init_it,6},{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}]}
{error_logger,{{2010,11,6},{10,43,45}},crash_report,[[{initial_call,{net_kernel,init,['Argument__1']}},{pid,<0.22.0>},{registered_name,[]},{error_info,{exit,{error,badarg},[{gen_server,init_it,6},{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}},{ancestors,[net_sup,kernel_sup,<0.10.0>]},{messages,[]},{links,[#Port<0.80>,<0.19.0>]},{dictionary,[{longnames,false}]},{trap_exit,true},{status,running},{heap_size,610},{stack_size,24},{reductions,494}],[]]}
{error_logger,{{2010,11,6},{10,43,45}},supervisor_report,[{supervisor,{local,net_sup}},{errorContext,start_error},{reason,{'EXIT',nodistribution}},{offender,[{pid,undefined},{name,net_kernel},{mfa,{net_kernel,start_link,[['rabbit@nick-VirtualBox',shortnames]]}},{restart_type,permanent},{shutdown,2000},{child_type,worker}]}]}
{error_logger,{{2010,11,6},{10,43,45}},supervisor_report,[{supervisor,{local,kernel_sup}},{errorContext,start_error},{reason,shutdown},{offender,[{pid,undefined},{name,net_sup},{mfa,{erl_distribution,start_link,[]}},{restart_type,permanent},{shutdown,infinity},{child_type,supervisor}]}]}
{error_logger,{{2010,11,6},{10,43,45}},std_info,[{application,kernel},{exited,{shutdown,{kernel,start,[normal,[]]}}},{type,permanent}]}
{"Kernel pid terminated",application_controller,"{application_start_failure,kernel,{shutdown,{kernel,start,[normal,[]]}}}"}

Can anyone help?

Hi Nick,

Do ps ax | grep rabbit

or something like that, you probably have another instance of the server already running

Regards,

Alvaro

oh!
I think you're right...(thanks)

on Windows I used to start and stop the service myself
can I still do that?
I will be doing some experimental programming in python,
so I want to be able to "clean the slate" between test runs.
( delete all state from the message broker )

I am also new to the "mailing-list" concept ( not sure if am doing it right? )

[Alvaro Videla]

To clear the state of the broker, if you really don't care about what's there, then do

./rabbitmqctl stop_app
./rabbitmqctl reset
./rabbitmqctl start_app

Be really careful because you will lose all your queues!!!!

If you start/stop the server that doesn't guarantee that you will reset the state of the broker

Regards,

Alvaro
