Description Jesse McFarland 2016-03-02 15:52:49 UTC
Description of problem:
rabbitmq-server fails to start after erlang and erlang libraries are updated to R16B-03.13. 

The error message given in the startup_err log and erl_crash.dump file is:

Kernel pid terminated (application_controller) ({application_start_failure,kernel,{{shutdown,{failed_to_start_child,net_sup,{shutdown,{failed_to_start_child,net_kernel,{'EXIT',nodistribution}}}}},{k

Downgrading erlang and libraries to R16B-03.11 allows rabbitmq-server to start successfully.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rabbitmq-server.noarch (3.5.7-1)
erlang (R16B-03.13)

How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update erlang and erlang libraries to R16B-03.13
2. Restart rabbitmq-server

Actual results: rabbitmq-server fails to start


Expected results: rabbitmq-server should start

We don't provide 3.5.7 for EPEL7 (at least yet). Please downgrade to the latest package from EPEL7 and try again.

If you want to use latest RabbitMQ and latest Erlang then please try Fedora. You can install it within a container if you don't want to change platform from RHEL to Fedora.

I've downgraded to 3.3.5-16 and the service still fails to start when using erlang R16B-03.13.

Comment 3 John Eckersberg 2016-03-02 16:35:47 UTC
See duplicate bug, this is fixed in erlang-R16B-03.16.el7
