 In this example, there will be two nodes only. A primary node which will start as normal using the default configuration,​ and then a secondary node which will be added to the first, therefore creating a cluster. In this example, there will be two nodes only.

 +The server hostnames used here are ''​rabbitmq1''​ and ''​rabbitmq2''​.
  
 First of all, start rabbitmq as normal on both of the nodes. First of all, start rabbitmq as normal on both of the nodes.
Line 83: Line 85:
 chmod 0600 /​var/​lib/​rabbitmq/​.erlang.cookie chmod 0600 /​var/​lib/​rabbitmq/​.erlang.cookie
 chown rabbitmq: /​var/​lib/​rabbitmq/​.erlang.cookie chown rabbitmq: /​var/​lib/​rabbitmq/​.erlang.cookie
 +</​code>​
 +
 +At this point, the primary node is up and running, the cookie exists, and it is ready to have a second node joined to it to create a cluster.
 +
 +On the second node, the RabbitMQ service is already running as normal, from when we started it earlier. Now, we need to tell rabbitmq to stop the application -- not the service -- so that we can join it to the primary node.
 +
 +Stop the app on the second node:
 +
 +<​code>​
 +rabbitmqctl stop_app
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Next, edit the ''/​var/​lib/​rabbitmq/​.erlang.cookie''​ value on the secondary node as well.
 +
 +Join the secondary node to the first, creating the cluster. This will flush the data on the primary node as well:
 +
 +<​code>​
 +rabbitmqctl join_cluster rabbit@rabbitmq1
 +</​code>​
 +
 +<​code>​
 +Clustering node '​rabbit@rabbitmq2'​ with '​rabbit@rabbitmq1'​ ...
 +...done.
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Finally, start the app again using ''​rabbitmqctl''​ on the second node:
 +
 +<​code>​
 +rabbitmqctl start_app
 </​code>​ </​code>​
