[Bug 1312507] Re: rabbitmq-server fails to start on a IPv6-Only environment/epmd is not IPv6 enabled

[John Carter]

If your Router server fails and you can't able to connect to the
internet. And also you are facing the IP address problem and  DNS follow
Dlink Support and visit https://www.routertechnicalsupportnumbers.com/d
-link-router-support/ for help. I was also following that to solve the
problems of router server fails and also DNS error.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Users of RabbitMQ in IPv6 environments are unable to stop/start/restart rabbitmq.

  [Test Case]
  On and IPv6 only server:
  sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
  ...
   * Starting message broker rabbitmq-server
   * FAILED - check /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_\{log, _err\}
     ...fail!

  [Regression Potential]
  The fix for this issue is in erlang itself; enabling IPv6 support in epmd is a compile time option so there is scope for regression.  Testing should ensure that existing IPv4 deployments of erlang tools do not regress with this change (validated RMQ already against PPA packages).

  [Original Bug Report]
  Guys,

  I'm trying to install rabbitmq-server on Ubuntu 14.04 on a IPv6-Only
  network and it fails, look:

   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   rabbitmq-server
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  The log:
  ---
  root at server-1:~# cat /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log
  ERROR: epmd error for host "server-1": address (cannot connect to host/port)
  ---

  The connectivity (resolved via /etc/hosts):

  ---
  root at server-1:~# ping6 server-1
  PING server-1(server-1.domain.com.br) 56 data bytes
  64 bytes from server-1.domain.com.br: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.019 ms
  64 bytes from server-1.domain.com.br: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.044 ms

  However, if I comment out the "nameserver 2001:4860:4860::8844"
  entries out from /etc/resolv.conf, then, rabbitmq-server starts! Very
  weird...

  Nothing on /etc/resolv.conf now...:
