It means your rabbitmq-server script failed with error code 1 
instead of the expected 0.  You need to figure out why that is,
possible fix the script etc.

Not sure there is a "right" place.  We deploy chef to /opt/chef 
with capistrano so our cookbook_path ends up being 
/opt/chef/current/cookbooks.

If you use chef solo why are looking at this?  localhost should 
bind to server's private interface, and yes, you may want to use
another interface either public or private for intra host access.  
What actually happens is easy to verify with `netstat -4l` if on
Linux.
