RabbitMQ log and Mnesia location in Environment variables not reflecting?


I want to change the Rabbitmq MNESIA dir to /disk folder instead of default /var/lib. I did the change in /usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin at rabbitmq-env with

RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE=/disk/rabbitmq/
RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE=/disk/rabbitmq/log/

And after restarting it with

service rabbitmq-server restart
Restarting rabbitmq-server (via systemctl):                [  OK  ]

But when i check the status as

      >      service rabbitmq-server status 
WARNING: Removing trailing slash from RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE
WARNING: Removing trailing slash from RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE
Status of node 'rabbit@ip-10-03-209-294' ...
Error: unable to connect to node 'rabbit@ip-10-03-209-294': nodedown

DIAGNOSTICS
===========

attempted to contact: ['rabbit@ip-10-03-209-294']

rabbit@ip-10-03-209-294:
  * connected to epmd (port 4369) on ip-10-03-209-294
  * epmd reports: node 'rabbit' not running at all
                  no other nodes on ip-10-03-209-294
  * suggestion: start the node

current node details:
- node name: 'rabbitmq-cli-61@10-03-209-294'
- home dir: /var/lib/rabbitmq
- cookie hash: D1JxYyl9vuDgVmH5K4dGyQ==

After removing all the changes ,it is working fine.But i want the MNESIA dir to be /disk. I restarted the instance as well.


Solution

  • Try following these steps:

    1. /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server stop
    2. nano /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf and add:

      RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE=/disk/rabbitmq
      RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE=/disk/rabbitmq/log

    3. chown rabbitmq:rabbitmq /disk/(and all subdirs)

    4. /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server start

    5. service rabbitmq-server status

    Just tried on my debian:

    root@bae18650cea4:/# service rabbitmq-server status
