Server crash on startup.

[Timtendo12]

Hi, Im running RabbitMQ on docker through pterodactyl panel (server/docker management), However whenever I start the server it immediately crashes with an error that really does not explain much whats going wrong..

container@pterodactyl~ ./sbin/rabbitmq-server
{"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{rabbit,boot,[],[]},{init,start_em,1,[]},{init,do_boot,3,[]}]}}
init terminating in do_boot ({undef,[{rabbit,boot,[],[]},{init,start_em,1,[]},{init,do_boot,3,[]}]})

Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump...done

• Using erlang 24,
• with the latest version of RabbitMQ.
• Docker is ran on port 5672

Installed using this Pterodactyl egg: https://github.com/parkervcp/eggs/tree/master/software/rabbitmq (an egg is basically an installation script for Pterodactyl)

rabbit:boot/0 cannot be "undefined" (undef), so this means that the runtime cannot load the module.

Have a look at what Erlang version is required by the "latest RabbitMQ release" (all 3.11.x versions): it is Erlang 25.

Stupid thing of me. It was indeed the outdated erlang version. Updating it to 26 worked.

26 has not shipped yet and has at least one incompatibility with one of RabbitMQ's dependencies. Consider using Erlang 25.x.
