Stable and simple amqp server for ubuntu

I am using rabbitmq-server as a amqp server with python client on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit OS.

Rabbitmq-server now fails to start. I uninstalled and installed the latest rabbitmq-server 1.8.0 but still I could not make rabbitmq to work.

I want to other alternative with less开发者_JAVA技巧 learning curve to use the amqp on ubuntu system. Can you recommend one?

OpenAMQ http://www.openamq.org/

Did you try deleting /var/lib/rabbitmq?

Why waste your time by installing and managing a local installation of a MQ? This is something that can be outsourced at a low price very easily to StormMQ, a cloud based AMQP provider. More here: http://www.stormmq.com

OpenAMQ is dead. The creators of OpenAMQ and of the AMQP specification are dropping support for it in 2011.

They suggest to switch to ZeroMQ. I suggest the same. Take a look at the ZeroMQ manual. The messaging becomes really simple. Create a socket, do send. No broker needs to be started. Applications use TCP addresses to specify the destinations.

The Python API uses the same functions.
