I am a developer who is using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS regularly for my development. I never install any packages like, node, PHP, python in the OS and make use of docker for the purpose. VS Code is the editor I use, and the extension of the remote container will help me to develop & debug inside the docker container.
Right now, I am in the process of moving the development to a windows environment and I wanted to follow a similar workflow there too. Unfortunately, I am facing few issues like "file changes are not getting detected" (when npm serve in angular and react projects).
https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4739
https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/c48yej/wsl_2_react_not_reloading_with_file_changes/
I have tried different methods to solve the issue like
use wsl2 and then docker inside that and then serve from the container
use just docker and serve the code from inside the container
Regardless of the methods, the file changes are not getting detected inside the docker.
Trust me I have gone through many bizarre words like inotify, increasing the watchers, etc... Nothing helped.
Is there a developer out there following a similar practice in a Windows environment? (docker + windows)
Any help is highly appreciated.
I suggest moving the files to the wsl2 file system and not the windows.
Wsl2 'sees' the windows file system from inside a mount image /mnt/c .
Move out of it, like at ~ (cd ~) and i think your files will be normally watched .
I recently ran into the issue where I was working on two Laravel projects: one using Docker, the other using XAMPP. I started my Docker project earlier, so I gave it access to port 3306.
When I went to implement the XAMPP project, I tried editing all the DB settings in the proper places to use the port 3308 so that it didn't collide with my DB docker container. Problem was, now I couldn't connect to phpMyAdmin. I was receiving errors that the settings were incorrect. So what was the solution?
The solution was to reset all of my settings to 3306, docker-compose down my Docker project, and then restart the XAMPP services. Worked like a charm.
So I'll note a couple things:
It seems like phpMyAdmin assumes it has access to 3306 even if you've changed your settings in config.inc.php.
Unrelated to this precise problem, I discovered that XAMPP's PHP version was different than what was installed on my Windows machine, which meant that I had two php.ini files. My php-cli was using the C/Program Files/PHP/php.ini, whereas XAMPP was using the XAMPP php.ini. While the XAMPP php.ini had the correct extensions uncommented, I needed to manually uncomment the appropriate extensions in the php-cli ini file. If you have xampp, go to the command line and use php --ini to check where your CLI ini file is located.
I suggest to try devilbox
The Devilbox is a modern and highly customisable dockerized PHP stack supporting full LAMP and MEAN and running on all major platforms. The main goal is to easily switch and combine any version required for local development. It supports an unlimited number of projects for which vhosts, SSL certificates and DNS records are created automatically. Reverse proxies per project are supported to ensure listening server such as NodeJS can also be reached. Email catch-all and popular development tools will be at your service as well. Configuration is not necessary, as everything is already pre-setup.
I have learned to use docker as development server (LAMP and MEAN) and now I feel I should take next step, By removing PHP and node binaries from system and use binaries from containers. So on a fresh Solus install, I setup containers for PHP, node, Ruby etc. Solus already recommends using containers for such tasks. But I got stuck on first day.
I installed vs code (Code-oss) on installed extensions (prettier, PHPCS etc) on it, and they need path of installed binaries (path/to/phpcs, path/to/node etc).
I initially set up configuration path as
docker run -it --rm herloct/phpcs phpcs
based on https://gist.github.com/barraq/e7f85262bc7a0af2d8d8884d27b62d2c but using more updated container. It didn't work, So I set it up as alias thinking it would fool VSCode into thinking it is native command, but it didn't work either. I have confirmed that using those command directly from terminal does work, But VSCode PHPIntellisense extension does not want to work.
Any suggestion?
P.S. Any tip to keep container running in background as to avoid container bootup delay everytime I use PHPCS or javac from container? I can keep LAMP server running but everytime I enter terminal tools, it loads up new container to execute command, and then kill container causing delay for bootup and closing.
In case it is still relevant to someone: You might want to create a VS Code development container to use dockerized binaries.
For this to work, a .devcontainer.json is required which could be as simple as:
{
"image": "mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/typescript-node:0-12"
}
I am using RabbitMQ. For some reason the rabbitMQ service stops as soon as you start it. I saw following error in the event log:
RabbitMQ: Erlang machine stopped instantly (distribution name conflict?). The service is not restarted as OnFail is set to ignore.
Someone told me to run this command: erl -sname rabbit
This command generates following output:

I am not sure how to interpret this output. I wonder the error is specific to RabbitMQ or erlang.
I have no idea how to procceed. Please suggest.
I have just run into this problem setting up RabbitMq as a service up on a new Windows server. The only thing I can think of that broke it for me is renaming the new windows box after installing the RabbitMq service, but before testing it for the first time.
First off I noticed it ran as an application fine. I solved it by installing the service again using the command from the manual install instructions:
rabbitmq-service install
Assuming that you have your path variables included for the RabbitMq sbin directory.
The only thing that worked for me was to clear the directory C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ.
(cf. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rabbitmq-users/138RHzzsORU)
In my scenario, Two directories of Erlang under C:\Program Files with different versions were there, I uninstalled one of the version, also uninstalled RabbitMQ service from Windows services list - Restarted the system.
Again ran RabbitMQ setup - RabbitMQ service was setup successfully.
I ran into the same issue when installing RabbitMQ 3.7.17 via Chocolatey on a Windows Server 2016.
After trying most of the suggested solutions, the one that worked for me was:
rabbitmq-service remove
rabbitmq-service install
rabbitmq-service start
PS: if your PATH is not configured for RabbitMQ, this is the folder you need to run the commands from: C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.7.17\sbin (if your version is also 3.7.17).
For anyone else looking up this error: double check your config files and SSL files. I ran into this issue when I had specified the ssl_options.cacertfile with ca.pem but the file was mistyped as ca-pem in the directory. Unfortunately RabbitMQ wasn't smart enough to catch the missing file and was dumping with no logs.
I found a name conflict with an env-variable, I use since years - means, this was not a problem with the previous version.
I have "Logs" and apps will write into that directory, usually with their own subdirectories. RMQ uses the same variable name and means a plain filename.
So using: "C:\Users\rabbit\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\log\log" made it working for me - this is in the rabbit's users private environment. So the global settings are now not seen by rabbit. Uff. And it looks like, this is really meant as a filename and after I changed it again to "rabbit#c4711-node.log", it writes like the earlier version. The service starts now for me - but this was really messy and I don't trust it at the moment ;-)
From my perspective, one should run such a service under its own account. If the service is already there, create a local user account - I've used "rabbit" and give it a password. The account I created, got admin right from me - but I currently just dont know, it this is needed. At least it should not - will see this later. If you have account/credentials, go to the service manager and click properties for the service. On the second tab ("log on"), check "this account" and enter username an password. If you have an account for the service you should be able to login with user.
Then you can specify environment variables with user scope.
To do this, logon with the user you created. Go to ControlPanel/System and click "advanced":
In the Environment UI, enter user specific variables
in the top panel:
Note: This was not my rabbit user, because I currently cannot login there. The variables, I entered - not guaranteed, it is correct - are the following:
RABBITMQ_BASE=C:\Users\rabbit\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ
RABBITMQ_CONFIG_FILE=C:\Users\rabbit\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\rabbitmq
RABBITMQ_LOGS=C:\Users\rabbit\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\log
RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE=C:\Users\rabbit\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\log
RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.26.3
This works for me.
The last time I installed it - some years ago - it was better to understand - this time, sorry, I dont .....
But made it workig.
According to RabbitMQ Install on Windows guide here
Troubleshooting When Running as a Service
In the event that the Erlang VM crashes whilst RabbitMQ is running as
a service, rather than writing the crash dump to the current directory
(which doesn't make sense for a service) it is written to an
erl_crash.dump file in the base directory of the RabbitMQ server (set
by the RABBITMQ_BASE environment variable, defaulting to
%APPDATA%\%RABBITMQ_SERVICENAME% - typically %APPDATA%\RabbitMQ
otherwise).
Basically it means to add a Environment Variable named RABBITMQ_BASE with value %APPDATA%\RabbitMQ
This fixed my problem.
I ran into this issue and the only way I could solve it was by unintalling RabbitMQ, unsintalling Erlang, rebooting the server and installing a clean Erlang and a clean RabbitMQ.
After all this, I could finally install and start the RabbitMQ instance as a windows service.
Tried all the solutions in this post and nothing worked.
Lucky for me it was in our development server, so the loss was acceptable.
The downside to this approach is that you loose all configs (all users, virtual hosts, etc).
It's all gone and you have to reconfigure the RabbitMQ instance from scratch.
Checking in from 2021:
None of this worked for me, the problem was actually that I had another instance of RabbitMQ running inside my WSL Ubuntu distro.
I had the same issue and I just downloaded the latested version of erlang and RabbitmQ and this resolved the issue for me.
While I got the same error, and the root cause for me seems related to Erlang cookie, I fixed it by doing:
Create a folder to store cookie, for example I am using C:\erl-23.2\home .
Add new system environment variable HOMEDRIVE, set the value to C:\
Add new system environment variable HOMEPATH, set the value to erl-23.2\home
This is making use of the rule:
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%.erlang.cookie (usually C:\Users%USERNAME%.erlang.cookie for user %USERNAME%) if both the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH environment variables are set
Since I was doing a migration when the error popped up, I still had my original .erlang.cookie in C:\Users\Me, but the new installation generated a new .erlang.cookie during installation in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile. After making them equal again and performing these steps from the sbin dir, it worked again.
rabbitmq-service remove
rabbitmq-service install
rabbitmq-service start
I had this today trying to install rabbitmq 3.8.0 with erlang 22.0 (64Bit).
Even completely re-installing both erlang and rabbit, deleteing all directories and registry did not help at all. Also i tried to set the needed PATH variables for erlang manually and re-installing the service each time.
The only solution working for me was installing another version of erlang. In my sepcific case i used erlang 21.3 in the 32bit version.
Doing that, no manually action was necessary and rabbit was up and running (after re-installing the service).
