3.8.8-1

Cause Analysis
According to the error log, there are two common causes.

erlang is not installed , resulting in a startup error.
First check whether erlang is installed.

1. ①.rpm -qa | grep erlang

[root@xxxx /]# rpm -qa|grep erlang
erlang-21.3-1.el7.x86_64

If erlang is not installed, result like “erlang-21.3-1.el7.x86_64” will not be displayed.

A host file configuration problem that causes the mq to not be read at startup.

[root@xxxx /]# vim /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.38.110 xxxx

If in the hosts file, the ip-hostname mapping is not added, just add it.
Remark.
To get the hostname.

[root@xxxx /]# hostname
xxxx

XXXX is the host name

Restart rabbitmq

[root@xxxx /]# systemctl restart rabbitmq-server 
[root@xxxx /]# systemctl status rabbitmq-server
