error log while starting:

Activating RabbitMQ plugins ...

0 plugins activated:

ERROR: epmd error for host "karthi": address (unable to establish tcp connection)

[Jorg Eloy]

Are you tried add the sudo in front of the command?

[Karthi M]

no instead of that i have used nohup

[Karthi M]

epmd -debug is also running and not providing any logs more than this.

the problem is that i'm not able to reproduce this issue consistently. this issue is happening for some time only.

i was trying to reproduce this issue with the same machine but its not consistent.

for the first time of that plugin activation command will show error and when execute for the second time it will work fine.

so i'm not able to get any more logs for this.
