Installing rabbitmq on centos7

Question

I am trying to install rabbotmq on centos7. Following the official instructions, I ran:

sudo yum install rabbitmq-server-3.5.1-1.noarch.rpm

and I get this error:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

then I tried installing erlang with the instructions from: Installing rabbitmq-server on RHEL

It seemed to have been installed, but my rabbitmq installation still fails with the same message. Any ideas how to fix the problem?

Answer 1

Following the instruction lead me to error: No package rabbitmq-server-3.6.1-1.noarch.rpm available.

Then I simply tried: yum install rabbitmq-server, it works for me.

Or checkout this one: Rabbitmq at Digitalocean - I used to config web monitoring on my server.

This is something that I've fought with, and found that the best solution is to install Erlang and RabbitMQ from standalone RPMs outside of yum; see Install Erlang in RMQ's documentation. Specifically, the stripped-down Erlang install provided by RabbitMQ (see here) should install easily, then allow you to install RMQ from an RPM downloaded from the RabbitMQ site. If that package doesn't work, then try the Erlang distributions from Erlang Solutions.
