Install rabbitmq via synaptic
Make sure that the erlang package is installed
Add a repository from the rabbitmq site
Set up Repository via the Synaptic GUI tool
(http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian/)
Set up Repository via command line
Ubuntu Documentation for Managing Repositories via the Command Line
How to use the RabbitMQ Debian repository and available RabbitMQ Debian packages
The repositories are described in /etc/apt/sources.list
So do the following:
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line:
deb http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian/ testing main
Then update the apt-get environment:
wget http://www.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-signing-key-public.asc sudo apt-key add rabbitmq-signing-key-public.asc sudo apt-get update
Install the RabbitMQ Server
Set up Repository via the Synaptic GUI tool
Set up Repository via command line
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
This should have installed the main portion of the code base in /usr/lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.5.1 (The trailing version number may be different than 1.5.1)
After it installed the server, make sure its stopped
# /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server stop
Install rabbitmq-stomp
I could not find any ubuntu/debian packages so I installed it from the Mercurial repository. If you don’t already have Mercurial (the hg command) then you can install it with the following command:
apt-get install mercurial
Install the rabbitmq-stomp code
This also will go parallel to where the ubuntu package put the stomp server main code and the rabbit-codegen.
cd /usr/lib/erlang/lib/
hg clone http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-stomp/
Compile the stomp code
Build and test run rabbitmq and stomp via make
cd /usr/lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq-stomp
make RABBIT_SERVER_SOURCE_ROOT=../rabbitmq_server-1.5.1 all
This should produce an output like:
mkdir -p ebin
erlc -I ../rabbitmq_server-1.5.0/include -I include -o ebin -Wall +debug_info src/rabbit_stomp.erl
erlc -I ../rabbitmq_server-1.5.0/include -I include -o ebin -Wall +debug_info src/stomp_frame.erl Add a file /etc/default/rabbitmq and Restart rabbitmq_server
You need to tell the main rabbitmq_server to load and run the rabbitmq-stomp stuff when it starts up. You do that by creating this file with the following content:
SERVER_START_ARGS='
-pa /usr//lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq-stomp/ebin
-rabbit
stomp_listeners [{"0.0.0.0",61613}]
extra_startup_steps [{"STOMP-listeners",rabbit_stomp,kickstart,[]}]'
Restart the Rabbitmq_server:
/etc/init.d/rabbitmq_server start
You can do a
ps -ax | grep stomp
and see an erlang process that is running the rabbit-stomp process.
Install ruby stomp client code and test
Install the ruby stomp gems
If you don’t have ruby already installed:
sudo apt-get install ruby
sudo apt-get install rubygems
Then install the ruby stomp gem
sudo gem install stomp
Run the ruby receiver client in one window
ruby /usr/lib/erlang/lib/rabbit-stomp/examples/ruby/cb-receiver.rb
In another window run the ruby sender client
ruby /usr/lib/erlang/lib/rabbit-stomp/examples/ruby/cb-sender.rb
In the receiver window you should see 10,000 test message lines:
...
Test Message number 9998
Test Message number 9999
All Done!That’s it! Now you can use Stomp
(See later post Updating RabbitMQ and RabbitMQ-Stomp to RabbitMQ 1.5.3)
Did some major tweaks to this after trying it again. Its cleaner now (and works as stated!)
Add stuff to show how to install rabbitmq ubuntu package via command line
Hi Robert,
Thanks for this post.
I followed all the steps on my Ubuntu 9.04 server, but I don’t see the rabbit-stomp process(es):
rabbitmq 4809 0.0 0.0 1992 352 ? S 12:01 0:00 /usr/lib/erlang/erts-5.6.5/bin/epmd -daemon

Any ideas what’s wrong?
Thanks,

Instead of creating /etc/default/rabbitmq I created /etc/default/rabbitmq and now, after restarting rabbitmq I see the stomp when I do a ‘ps’.
However, when I start up the receieve script, I get this error:
# ruby /usr/lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq-stomp/examples/ruby/cb-receiver.rb

Darn 🙁
I, too, receive the dreaded broken pipe that Paul describes. It’s like the socket isn’t staying open after initial authentication.
A couple things I needed to do differently to get things to work:
1. “/etc/init.d/stomp-server” instead of “/etc/init.d/stomp_server”
2. I needed to put the SERVER_START_ARGS in /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf (I just symlinked the /etc/default/rabbitmq I had created per your instructions.)
3. “ps ax” instead of “ps -ax”
It would be nice to add the “hg update rabbitmq_v1_X_X” info to this page as it’s a pretty important step.
