RabbitMQ Server – Issue with High Sierra – Mac OS

macOS RabbitMq

After updating to High Sierra, I faced issues with starting rabbitmq-server.  The command gave the following error:

RabbitMQ 3.6.3. Copyright (C) 2007-2016 Pivotal Software, Inc.
## ## Licensed under the MPL. See http://www.rabbitmq.com/
## ##
########## Logs: /usr/local/var/log/rabbitmq/rabbit@localhost.log
###### ## /usr/local/var/log/rabbitmq/rabbit@localhost-sasl.log
##########
Starting broker...
completed with 10 plugins.
Assertion failed: (ctx), function digest_update, file /BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/boringssl/boringssl-109.20.5/apple/crypto/digests.c, line 49.
/usr/local/sbin/rabbitmq-server: line 236: 2681 Abort trap: 6 start_rabbitmq_server "$@"

I narrowed down the issue to a problem with Home Brew. I had installed rabbitmq via HomeBrew a while back and with the changes in the operating system rabbitmq was failing to start.

Running the following command gave the below error message:

$ brew update
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
Error: /usr/local is not writable. You should change the ownership
and permissions of /usr/local back to your user account:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local

How to fix RabbitMQ Server – Issue with High Sierra

  1. Reinstall Home Brew using the following command:
    ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  2. Then run:
    brew update
  3. Then run:
    brew reinstall rabbitmq
  4. Once done you must  be able to run rabbitmq-server to get the server up and running.

Top 50 High DA Directory Submission Sites

best seo backlinks strategy

Update (2026): While automated web directories were popular a decade ago, search engines now treat low-quality directory links as spam. This guide has been completely rewritten to detail high-authority, ethical link-building strategies that actually move your organic rankings today.

In the early days of SEO, submitting your URL to hundreds of web directories was a quick way to build domain authority. Today, doing this can trigger algorithmic penalties from Google. Modern SEO requires earning high-quality contextual backlinks from real, high-traffic web properties.

Here is how to safely build high-authority backlinks that move the needle.

1. The Right Way to Leverage Web Directories

Are directory submissions completely dead? No, but their purpose has changed. You should only submit your site to local citations and core ecosystem directories.

These include:

  • Google Business Profile / Bing Places: Essential for any local or regional service entity.
  • Crunchbase / Product Hunt: Critical platforms if you are building a startup, app, or software product.
  • Clutch / G2: Essential review directories for agencies, B2B services, and enterprise software utilities.

2. Digital PR and the Skyscraper Technique

Instead of submitting your link to blank lists, find top-ranking content in your tech niche that contains broken or outdated outlinks. Reach out to the site editors, point out the broken source, and pitch your newly updated, comprehensive resource as a superior replacement.

3. Creating Data-Driven Link Baits

The easiest way to get natural links from major tech sites is to publish original, statistics-driven data sheets or cheat sheets. Writers and journalists constantly look for data points to link to as source material.

Quick Comparison: Legacy SEO vs. Modern Link Building

Strategy TypeLegacy Approach (Avoid)Modern Approach (Focus)
Directory UsageAutomated mass directory listsSelective Profile Lists (Crunchbase, Product Hunt)
Link ContextSidebar widgets or footer dropsContextual editorial links inside rich articles
Target MetricVolume of raw linking domainsHigh trust, high traffic relevance
Are directory submission sites still good for SEO?

For general SEO, generic web directory submissions are mostly obsolete and can act as spam signals. However, specialized profile directories like Crunchbase, Product Hunt, and Google Business Profile remain essential for local citations and branding.

What is the modern alternative to directory backlinks?

Modern link-building focuses on earning contextual links within high-quality content. Top strategies include Digital PR, broken link building, and creating data-driven assets or cheat sheets that journalists naturally cite as sources.

How do low-quality backlinks affect site rankings?

Google’s modern AI algorithms generally ignore low-quality automated links. However, if a domain excessively builds artificial directory or comment links, it can trigger algorithmic penalties that drop the site’s overall quality score.
