/etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server startup script

[Andrew Eells-3]

Hello,

I've recently upgraded from RabbitMQ v2.5.1 to v2.8.0 and having installed via the Generic Linux tarball (as opposed to RPM) I'm wondering if there is a server bootstrap startup script available, so as to run this as a service? The script associated with the previous version no longer works.

It would be reasonably straightforward to write a simple one which just launches the server detached, but I suspect I would lose some of the functionality available, particularly around logging and locking that is available in the previous script eg. 

> echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|rotate-logs|restart|condrestart|try-restart|reload|force-reload}" >&2

Would appreciate any pointers as to best-practice with v2.8.0.

Thanks and regards,

Drew

You can pull the one we use for RPM / debs from:

http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-server/file/7cefef84b261/packaging/common/rabbitmq-server.init

When you say "The script associated with the previous version no longer
works", is that where you got it from?

Note that there's a change in the generic unix tarball in 2.8.0: it now
locates logs, config, the database and so on within the unpacked
tarball, keeping it all in one place and meaning you don't have to mess
with permissions to get it working.

If you want the old behaviour, see the note "File Locations" at

Thanks for your reply Simon, much appreciated.

We've had numerous problems, mostly with Erlang it seems to be fair, but we're also on EC2 Linux which I know is not a preferred platform. We were attempting to install both from source as we've had stability issues with the RPM mirrors we were using for 2.5.1.

Anyway, we now have 2.8.0 running via Puppet configuration which is neat. I may well publish the manifests as it might save a few people some significant hacking!

Many thanks again,

Drew
