I tired this but nothing happens for me.I checked log also but nothing was there. I dropped all the logs and again try to start the server but getting the same error and no log files are generated.

I reinstalled it and its working again. but i wants the reason of it and how to solve it, if happens again.

The solution in the linked document is an option if large message stores are what is filling your disk. Note that this will cause message loss as well as loss of system configuration:

rm -rf /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/*
systemctl start rabbitmq-server

There isn't enough information provided ("nothing happens for me" isn't helpful) to diagnose further. Re-installation may have correctly deleted the system configuration, but a full re-installation should not be necessary to fix this issue.
