[rabbitmq-discuss] about server start

2011/10/24 _-^? z-- <mejozn at 163.com>
`rabbitmq-server` command is a bash script that is responsible for
running Erlang virtual machine.

What you see is a erlang vm behaviour. It's actually pretty cool, try typing
something like
Yes... This is an interactive prompt.

Although in most situations you don't need it. That's why -detached option
allows you to run the vm in the background.

Generally, you shouldn't need to run `rabbitmq-server`. You should
use packaged rabbitmq server release and let your operating
system to run and manage it.
On linux startup and stop is often managed by
/etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server script.

Hope that helps.

Right, I answered the wrong question. Let me try again.

`rabbitmq-server` runs erlang interpreter twice. First as
'prelaunch' and later usual 'rabbitmq' stuff.

What you see is an erlang getting stuck at first run.

This is quite weird. It shouldn't happen. My gut feeling is that
you have something wrong with epmd/dns/hostname settings.

Are you able to run $ ping `hostname` command?
