RabbitMQ install issue on Centos 5.5

Question

I\'ve been trying to get rabbitmq-server-2.4.0 up and running on Centos 5.5 on an Amazon AWS instance.

My instance uses the following kernel: 2.6.18-xenU-ec2-v1.2

Answer 1

I installed it by first installing erlang by source:

sudo yum -y install make gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel m4 ncurses-devel openssl-devel
wget http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_R13B04.tar.gz
tar xfvz otp_src_R13B04.tar.gz
cd otp_src_R13B04/
./configure
sudo make install

After that create a symbolic link to also make erl available for root user:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/erl /bin/erl

Install rabbitmq rpm (Maybe outdated check latest release yourself):

wget http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-server/v2.4.1/rabbitmq-server-2.4.1-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh rabbitmq-server-2.4.1-1.noarch.rpm
