RabbitMQ on RHEL5 x86_64

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Want to install RabbitMQ on RHEL5 but running into hideous erlang crashes? Chances are it is an issue with dual installations of erlang, one i386 and one x86_64.

Here’s how to fix it:

$ yum erase erlang.i386
$ rm /usr/bin/erl
$ rm /usr/bin/erlc
$ rm /usr/bin/escript
$ ln -s /usr/lib64/erlang/bin/erl /usr/bin/erl
$ ln -s /usr/lib64/erlang/bin/erlc /usr/bin/erlc
$ ln -s /usr/lib64/erlang/bin/escript /usr/bin/escript
$ service start rabbitmq-server
> Starting rabbitmq-server: SUCCESS

Let’s test:

bash-3.2$ irb
>> require 'bunny'
=> true
>> b = Bunny.new
=> #
>> b.start
=> :connected
>> exec "echo YOU WIN"
YOU WIN
bash-3.2$

And as always, remember:

chkconfig rabbitmq-server on

I’m paranoid about chkconfig now!
