[erlang-questions] Help running Erlang as a Service on XP Embedded

[Robert Raschke]

Hi Daniel,

a few things to verify:

Is RabbitMQ actually up and running? That is, can you use it normally,
connect, create/use exchanges, queues etc.? Is the REST API running? Or the
managment plugin?

If yes, then the next step would be to fix the cookie in the bat files. For
that you'll need to unregister the service again, then edit the register
service bat to include the -setcookie argument, and as Dave mentions it
might be worth ensuring that your local name is set to include the host
part explicitly as well here. Also add the -setcookie into the
rabbitmqctl.bat.

If your service is in fact not usable at all, then having a closer look at
the log files is in order.

Actually, looking at the log files is a good idea in any case.

Regards,
Robby
