According to the RabbitMQ docs, the RabbitMQ server is already installed on Debian 6 Squeeze.

rabbitmq-server is included in Debian since 6.0 (squeeze) and in Ubuntu since 9.04.

I tried to start it via SSH and invoke-rc.d rabbitmq-server start but realized that there is no rabbitmq-server in init.d. - rabbitmqctl status also is unknown. I also could not find it with dpkg --get-selections.

I have to admit that I am new to Linux, but could it be possible that there is no rabbitmq server preinstalled? Or maybe I am looking in the wrong places?

Thank you

"rabbitmq-server is included in Debian since 6.0 (squeeze) and in Ubuntu since 9.04" means they are available in their respective repositories not installed by default in default installation procedure.

You need to run 

apt-get install rabbitmq-server

to install

Thanks! The whole sentence is: rabbitmq-server is included in Debian since 6.0 (squeeze) and in Ubuntu since 9.04. However, the versions included are often quite old. Especially because of the second part of the sentence I assumed it is really installed. So they mean the repository is a little bit out of date? – alpjaeno Feb 6 at 11:13
yeah official repo might contain old version to maintain compatibilities with the libraries that comes with the distribution – kaji Feb 6 at 11:28

Means is that you can do 

apt-get install rabbitmq-server
