Question

I have installed rabbitmq on ubuntu and trying to start it using rabbitmq-server start, however, I\'m getting this error:

Activating Ra         


        

Answer 1

I had similar problem but these suggestions didn't work for me(restart too). When I run rabbitmq-server command, I get a response like that:

$/ rabbitmq-server


BOOT FAILED
===========

Error description:
   {error,{cannot_log_to_file,"/var/log/rabbitmq/rabbit@haber01.log",
                              {error,eacces}}}
....

When I checked permissions of /var/log/rabbitmq/rabbit@haber01.log file, I saw that group has not write permisson for that file. So I gave permission to group with that command:

/var/log/rabbigmq/$ chmod g+w *

then problem has gone!

Maybe this answer help someone.
