Failed to start rabbitmq-server

[Parlin]

Hi, all,

I've been trying to install rabbitmq (ver 3.1.0) on my own vps ( linux distribution: debian, x86) for a long time, but I just failed again and again.

First, I'd like to show the error message I got:

root@XXX:~/code# /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server start

[warn] Starting message broker: rabbitmq-server[....] FAILED - check /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_\{log, _err\} ... (warning).

 failed!

root@XXX:~/code# rabbitmqctl status

And I've tried many solving methods I've googled, such as changing hostname and writing rabbitmq.conf, but none worked.

What's more, I even updated my Erlang, which is now R16B.

Still, nothing could be solved, and I turn to your for help.

Thank you in advance and I'm looking forward to your reply.
