I am on MAC OS X Yosemite and installed Rabbitmq 3.4.2. The install went well but I keep getting this cookie error “Error when reading /Users/myusername/.erlang.cookie: eacces” (full error is below).
The file is readable.
/Users/username/.erlang.cookie
-rw------- 1 Guest staff 20B Jan 19 00:00 .erlang.cookie
This is a fresh install using Homebrew -
http://www.rabbitmq.com/install-homebrew.html. This install is bundled with errlang so presumable need to (brew install erlang + SSL ??)
I followed steps on -
