RabbitMQ, Erlang: How to “make sure the erlang cookies are the same”

Question

I am using RabbitMQ with Grails, and a problem cropped up this morning. When I run rabbitmqctl status it tells me:

C:\\Users\\BuildnTest2>rab

The definitive answer to your specific question, on the RabbitMQ site is at http://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html

However, from your status dump, it doesn't look as though this is your issue. It just looks as though your node is down. Am I correct in assuming that you aren't running a cluster? The fact that the node that you can't connect to is the same as the one you are running the commands from indicates this.

If the RabbitMQ service is running then run rabbitmqctl start If it isn't running then go to services and start it and then the above. The erlang cookie is irrelevant for non-clustered configurations.
