how do I start rabbitmq on linux

[simon mackenzie]

I installed on windows and rabbitmq automatically started and just worked. On ubuntu I installed with conda and it appears to be installed along with erlang. However "rabbitmqctl status" gives the message below. It says "start the node". But how do I start the node?

The question was raised on stackoverflow but the answers there don't work:

* rabbitmq-server start -detached

* rabbitmqctl start_app

DIAGNOSTICS

===========

attempted to contact: [rabbit@0ad21094dfda]

rabbit@0ad21094dfda:

  * connected to epmd (port 4369) on 0ad21094dfda

  * epmd reports: node 'rabbit' not running at all

                  no other nodes on 0ad21094dfda

  * suggestion: start the node

Current node details:

 * node name: 'rabbitmqcli-1037-rabbit@0ad21094dfda'

 * effective user's home directory: /home/simon

 * Erlang cookie hash: G5p9pZmWSiIoQ8rYQaTolw==

Hi Simon,

I'm not sure what "Conda" is, but if you install using these instructions it should "just work":

https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html

https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html#running-debian

Thanks,

Luke

Conda is the anaconda package manager. In most cases just works with one line installation. If a package needs 10 pages of installation instructions then it is over complex.

Hi Simon,

I'm assuming that you are using this package - https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/rabbitmq-server

Since the output you provide suggests that the package doesn't automatically start RabbitMQ, you should start it as you would any service on Ubuntu that is using systemd -

service rabbitmq-server start

OR

systemctl enable rabbitmq-server

systemctl start rabbitmq-server

This is documented here: https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html#running-debian

Thanks. Turned out it is not defined as a service but if I run "rabbitmq-server -detached" then it works.
