title: OS X and rabbitMQ: ERROR: epmd error for host xxx: address (cannot connect to host/port)
body: <p>I just made to the latest OS X maverick update and I got suprised to see that rabbitMQ is no longueur working.
  I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MacBook-Pro-de-Julio:~ julio$ rabbitmq-server
  ERROR: epmd error for host MacBook-Pro-de-Julio: address (cannot connect to host/port)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I use the standalone version of <code>rabbitMQ</code>. I try to re-install it without any success. When I run <code>hostname</code> command I have the following result:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MacBook-Pro-de-Julio:~ julio$ hostname
  MacBook-Pro-de-Julio.local
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do you know how to fix this issue?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT 1:</strong></p>
  
  <p>By turning off the Wifi, I can run with success rabbitMQ. If I turn it on, I can't launch rabbitMQ.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT 2:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks to @old_sound answer, I fixed the issue by editing my <code>/etc/hosts</code>.</p>
