Once that's done, do an apache2ctl restart for good measure and you should be good to go. Visit http://localhost and do another dance.

mod_rewrite

If you get an a "Not Found" response when the system redirects you to /login, maybe mod_rewrite is getting in the way. If that's the case.:

• Check that mod_rewrite is installed and enabled. (run a2enmod rewrite in case it isn't)

Logs to watch

If during instalationinstallation, anything doesn't behave as expected, here are the logs your you should check (double points when if you past paste log dumps on into bug reports!):

• Apache logs (/var/logs/apache2, mainly error.log)
• Tomcat logs (/var/logs/tomcat7, mainly catalina.out)
• Application logs (i.e.: /var/www/application/logs)
• MySQL logs - enable the general log if you want to really get to the thick of what's going on
• Service logs - each service will have logs being written on their respective logs directory. Keep an eye on those!

We can't stress enough how helpful these are enough.

Run sudo service rabbitmq-server restart and live RabbitMQ should be good again.
