RabbitMQ server error

Question

UPDATED error message

I am getting a BOOT FAILED error every time I try to start the rabbitmq server. Does anybody know how I can fix this? I have attached the error message. I have tried a few different things including uninstalling and reinstalling it and am now getting a new error message, but am at a loss for what to try next. Any suggestions are much appreciated! Thank you!!

Answer 1

I don't know how rabbitmq works, but the error message looks clear: it tries to delete the directory /usr/local/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit@localhost-plugins-expand, and fails because the process has nt the access right to delete the file /usr/local/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit@localhost-plugins-expand/amqp_client-3.1.3/ebin/amqp_auth_mechanisms.beam.

Take a look at who is the owner of this file and directory, what are the access right to them.

This occurred for me during a rabbitmq upgrade with brew.

It was easier for me to just remove the directory all together and install from scratch.

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/rabbitmq/
brew uninstall rabbitmq; 
brew install rabbitmq
rabbitmq-server
