Hi Thomas, Thanks for the report.

This is an "old" location for the following.

Yes, but the CONFIG_FILE refers only to /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config
Basically, there are really only two config files:
1. A shell-style file, with default location
/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf
2. An erlang term file, with default location
/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config
The latter is, for various erlang reasons, referred to without the
extension.
Whilst /etc/default/rabbitmq did used to exist, it doesn't seem to now -
indeed I can only find a reference to it in postrm, and indeed
dpkg -c /home/matthew/Download/rabbitmq-server_2.4.1-1_all.deb \
| grep default
returns no results.

Well that'll refer to (1) above, but yes, that looks right to me.

Indeed. The problem can be put a bit more concisely as: the
rabbitmq-env.conf file is not sourced prior to the call to
setsid sh -c "$DAEMON > ${INIT_LOG_DIR}/startup_log \
2> ${INIT_LOG_DIR}/startup_err" &
in the init script.
To be fair, we never say that you should be able to configure the
INIT_LOG_DIR in the rabbitmq-env.conf file, although equally,
http://www.rabbitmq.com/man/rabbitmq-env.conf.5.man.html gets no where
near documenting everything that can be configured in the -env.conf
file.
I agree this is a bug though and I shall file a bug in our own bugzilla
to try and get this fixed.
Best wishes,
Matthew
