I am installing rabbitMQ on ubuntu16.04. But I am getting below error. I tries searching for it but not able to resolve it.

Also when I checked this /var/log/rabbitmq/ Path, there is no file in it.

Why I am getting this output. How can I resolve it.

Installation procedure:

$ wget http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install esl-erlang
$ echo "deb http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian/ testing main"  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rabbitmq.list > /dev/null
$ sudo wget http://www.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-signing-key-public.asc
$ sudo apt-key add rabbitmq-signing-key-public.asc
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 6B73A36E6026DFCA
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server

Before installing erlang and rabbitmq-server, I have installed LAMP(Apache, Mysql and PHP7.0) and node.js. I have install the same before and it was working fine. I don't understand what I am missing here.

You have to check the log files in /var/log/rabbitmq to see why RabbitMQ is not starting. – Whiz 5/7, 2018 at 13:59

@LukeBakken Thanks for the response. I have checked for the logs but no log file is created as I have already mentioned in the question. – Nematic 9/7, 2018 at 5:34

What happens when you run /usr/sbin/rabbitmq-server as root? – Whiz 9/7, 2018 at 14:52

Have you tried running journalctl -xe as suggested to see if it contains useful information? – Whiz 9/7, 2018 at 14:53

I have added the output of above command. Still not able to found the problem. – Nematic 10/7, 2018 at 5:53

How did you install the RabbitMQ and Erlang packages? Did you download .deb files, set up apt repositories? Please provide all of the exact commands you ran. – Whiz 11/7, 2018 at 12:31

I have mentioned all the commands above. I have already installed the same on another laptop on Ubuntu 16.04LTS itself. But now don't understand, what I am missing here. – Nematic 12/7, 2018 at 10:54

Everything should be working, so all I can recommend at this point is to uninstall Erlang, RabbitMQ and remove /var/lib/rabbitmq, /var/log/rabbitmq and re-try. If these commands have worked correctly on another Ubuntu system there must be something wrong with the current one. – Whiz 12/7, 2018 at 17:42

I did the same multiple times but found no luck. Still not able to rectify the problem. I have uninstalled everything and reinstalled but still same issue. I have tried it on couple of systems but getting the same error. – Nematic 13/7, 2018 at 5:26

I have fresh installed Ubuntu 16.04LTS and follow the command given above. But got the same error. Error : Not creating home directory `/var/lib/rabbitmq'. – Nematic 13/7, 2018 at 7:41

"deb http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian/ testing main" is not the correct package repository. This is all well-documented here, please re-read it carefully: rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html – Whiz 13/7, 2018 at 14:31

It is working fine now. I have updated the package repository. Thanks a lot ! – Nematic 27/7, 2018 at 7:39

You should install RabbitMQ with version that is compatible with version of installed Erlang.

RabbitMQ Erlang version requirements you can find here: https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html#compatibility-matrix

To get Erlang version type in Terminal:

erl -eval 'erlang:display(erlang:system_info(otp_release)), halt().'  -noshell

Remove previous RabbitMQ installed:

$ sudo apt-get purge rabbitmq-server
$ sudo rm -fr /var/lib/rabbitmq/

To install appropriate version of RabbitMQ you should do it from repo: https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html#manual-installation

In my case (Erlang v21) required version of RabbitMQ is 3.7.17:

$ sudo apt-get -y install socat logrotate init-system-helpers adduser
$ cd /opt/tools/
$ sudo wget https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/download/v3.7.17/rabbitmq-server_3.7.17-1_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i rabbitmq-server_3.7.17-1_all.deb
$ sudo rm rabbitmq-server_3.7.17-1_all.deb

get erlang packages with right version here : erlang-solutions.com/resources/download.html#tabs-debian – Lingua 11/12, 2019 at 13:54

Thanks for this help, this answer must be accepted ! – Eightfold 16/1, 2020 at 14:8

I had exactly the same problem when installed from the repository. Resolved by installing both Erlang and RabbitMQ from the .deb files, according to the manual on the official site: https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html

There was a problem with the repository. Somehow it was working earlier. I have updated my repository as suggested by Luke Bakken and it is working now. – Nematic 27/7, 2018 at 7:41

I have also met with the same error while trying to start service after finishing install using apt-get install method. Followed the documentation in the below url. I could understand that the debain9 installs has the same issue.

I have managed to resolve the case by following dpkg -i installation steps, Below are the steps I have followed.

apt-get purge rabbitmq-server
apt-get purge erlang
apt-get autoremove
reboot

installation via dpkg method which solved the problem

Dependencies that need to be fixed before dpkg method.

apt-get -y install socat logrotate init-system-helpers adduser
wget https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/download/v3.7.15/rabbitmq-server_3.7.15-1_all.deb

/etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server start

And service has started good.

PS:This is probably stale by now but let me just add it for someone who is currently facing this issue.

Ensure that there is no process running on port 5672. This error can be common when you are trying to run multiple message brokers on the same JVM. In my case I had to modify activemq ports and let rabbitmq utilize the default port.
