Report error "eaddrinuse" but there is no port occupied in "netstat" or "lsof -i:port"

Question

{error_logger,{{2013,10,14},{12,31,31}},"Protocol: ~p: register/listen error: ~p~n",["inet_tcp",eaddrinuse]}

Can anyone give some advice. Thank you.

Answer 1

For people who tries to run 2 rabbitmq on same server, don't uncomment two tcp port with same port in /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf. It should be like:

listeners.tcp.default = 5700


## To listen on a specific interface, provide an IP address with port.
## For example, to listen only on localhost for both IPv4 and IPv6:
##
# IPv4
#listeners.tcp.local    = 127.0.0.1:5700
# IPv6
# listeners.tcp.local_v6 = ::1:5700

For ipv4 and ipv6 change the port, otherwise you'll face with eaddrinuse error.
