title: Rabbit - Error: mnesia_unexpectedly_running
body: <p>I am trying to cluster rabbit using chef</p>
  
  <p>Here is my error.  I shutdown all of rabbit on the second node.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>rabbitmqctl join_cluster --ram rabbit@ip-10-158-xxx-xxx
  
  Error: mnesia_unexpectedly_running
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So..what is the deal?  I tried this from <a href="http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2010/05/rabbitmq-clustering-in-ubuntu.html" rel="noreferrer">http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2010/05/rabbitmq-clustering-in-ubuntu.html</a> which is to remove  /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia.  No go.  And on what server doen it not be be running?  All?  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
