on debian you must change the config file from rabbitmq-server (/etc/rabbitmq/ )
you can find more informations in the airtime manual
---- RABBITMQ ON DEBIAN In Debian 6.0 (Squeez e) the rabbitmq-server daemon does not start automatically after a reboot. T his should be fixed before installing Airtime, to prevent problems at playout time. If the rabbitmq-server package was installed before the last reboot, you will need to run: # invo ke -rc.d ra b b itm q -s e rve r s ta rt as the root user before the installation of Airtime. If it is not already installed, run the following command as root: # a p t-ge t ins ta l l ra b b itm q -s e rve r After a fresh installation, rabbitmq-server will start automatically, so there is no need to run the invoke-rc.d command mentioned above. In either case, you should then edit lines 13 and 14 of the file /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server (as root) to show: # D e fa u l t-S ta rt: 2 3 4 5 # D e fa u l t-S to p : 0 1 6 and then run the command (as root): # u p d a te -rc.d ra b b itm q -s e rve r d e fa u l ts T his should make sure that rabbitmq-server starts after the next reboot.
I'm not aware of any special steps needed to run Airtime on Debian. I use Debian Squeeze as my dev machine, and it runs without any problems.
It looks like rabbitmq-server is trying to start, but having trouble doing so. Please post the logs from /var/log/rabbitmq. There is a file there named "startup_err".
RabbitMQ requires a fixed and resolvable hostname (see http://www.rabbitmq.com/ec2.html#issues-hostname) which is normal for a server. For a desktop or laptop machine where the hostname changes frequently or is not resolvable, this issue may prevent RabbitMQ from starting.
When using a desktop or laptop computer with a dynamic IP address, such as an address obtained from a wireless network, the rabbitmq-server daemon must not start up before the NetworkManager service.
