Error starting up RabbitMQ

[S Carruthers]

Hello all,

I have just recently installed RabbitMQ with the following: RabbitMQ 3.8.14, Erlang/OTP 23, OS is Centos 7. Each of the components installed with no errors. 

I'm wondering why I get an error running the RabbitMQ service using systemd, but not when I run the service manually. Any help would be appreciated. 

Here are the details:

1. When I run 'sudo /sbin/service rabbitmq-server start' I get the following error:

Job for rabbitmq-server.service failed because a fatal signal was delivered causing the control process to dump core. See "systemctl status rabbitmq-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

2. Running systemctl status rabbitmq-server.service I get the following:

● rabbitmq-server.service - RabbitMQ broker

4. No log is created because the service does not start up.

5. But when I run the RabbitMQ service manually under root or rabbitmq using '/usr/sbin/rabbitmq-server start' the service starts correctly.
