When trying to start rabbitmq server, I get the following error:

{error_logger,{{2014,9,26},{15,30,21}},"Protocol: ~tp: register/listen error: ~tp~n",["inet_tcp",econnrefused]}

I tried erl -sname foo command and it gave a similar error.

Then (as suggested here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.networking.rabbitmq.general/23204) I tried epmd -debug and it gave the following output:

epmd: Mon Sep 29 11:56:16 2014: epmd running - daemon = 0
epmd: Mon Sep 29 11:56:16 2014: error opening stream socket: Address family not supported by protocol

Tried to google for epmd error Address family not supported by protocol, but couldn't find anything.

It might be that you are using IP6 address which might be not supported by epmd in your Erlang version. This mail might shed some light on issue (or just force IP4 if you can).

    And of course, if you will decide to compile new ErlangVM [using kerl](https://github.com/yrashk/kerl) is great option. – mpm Sep 29 '14 at 15:14
  • Thank you. I googled about IPv4 and erlang and found that there is an issue with ubuntu erlang package - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/erlang/+bug/1374109. So, I just installed the newest erlang version from https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-erlang-otp and now everything works. – Rinas Oct 02 '14 at 07:49
