Rabbitmq wasn't starting up on centos

chef server 10.16.2 installed using chef-solo

the init script for rabbitmq is checking the return value for rabbitmqctl
status.

but rabbitmqctl status is returning zero even when the server’s down.

has anyone else run into this? is this a bug in rabbitmqctl or in the init
script?

thanks!

It's a known issue with the init script. I assume you're using the EPEL
RabbitMQ.

I am, because that is what the opscode-provided chef-solo installer uses.
Thanks for the bug link!

869415 – init script does not work as rabbitmqctl status returns 0 for a nodedown
