I just installed rabbitmq-server v3.7.6 and If you are running debian-based distro, makes sure you have pinned your esl-erlang and erlang* package to 20.3.x (see here for more detail). Also, makes sure /var/lib/rabbitmq directory belongs to rabbitmq user and group. If not, use chown -R rabbitmq:rabbitmq /var/lib/rabbitmq to fix it. And finally, just install one of these packages, esl-erlang or erlang.

I saw that you type erlang-20.3.7-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm, but the latest version for v20.3.x branch is v20.3.6. Please check it again...

Read the rabbitmq compatibility with erlang/otp here. I already tested using above configuration, and it works perfectly after I typed sudo rabbitmq-ctl status.

If success, you may see below result.

Good luck!

Answer 2

because you are having the wrong version of the erlang to install it properly you need the latest erlang version 20.3 because the 21 version only works with rabbitmq version 3.7.6 beta.

To install rabbitmq and its dependency

sudo apt install rabbitmq-server erlang-base=1:20.3-1 erlang-syntax-tools=1:20.3-1 erlang-asn1=1:20.3-1 erlang-crypto=1:20.3-1 erlang-mnesia=1:20.3-1 erlang-runtime-tools=1:20.3-1 erlang-public-key=1:20.3-1 erlang-ssl=1:20.3-1 erlang-diameter=1:20.3-1 erlang-inets=1:20.3-1 erlang-xmerl=1:20.3-1 erlang-edoc=1:20.3-1 erlang-eldap=1:20.3-1 erlang-erl-docgen=1:20.3-1 erlang-eunit=1:20.3-1 erlang-ic=1:20.3-1 erlang-inviso=1:20.3-1 erlang-odbc=1:20.3-1 erlang-snmp=1:20.3-1 erlang-os-mon=1:20.3-1 erlang-parsetools=1:20.3-1 erlang-percept=1:20.3-1 erlang-ssh=1:20.3-1 erlang-tools=1:20.3-1 erlang-nox=1:20.3-1
