rabbitmq

Cannot enable rabbitmq-management plugin on Windows

So, this is what I've done:

  1. Installed Erlang on my Windows x64 bit machine
  2. Installed RabbitMQ
  3. Started RabbitMQ service

At this step I have no errors. When, however, I try to enabe rabbitmq-management, I get some error messages in the console. The way I try to enable it is this one:

C:\...\rabbitmq-server-3.5.6\sbin>rabbitmq-plugins.bat enable rabbitmq_management

This results in:

Applying plugin configuration to rabbit@Jacobian... failed

To add to this, I know about this thread, but I'm not sure what this command means SET HOMEDRIVE=C:. Nevertheless, I tried it like so:

C:\...\rabbitmq-server-3.5.6\sbin>  SET HOMEDRIVE=C:
C:\...\rabbitmq-server-3.5.6\sbin>  rabbitmq-plugins.bat enable rabbitmq_management

But I still got the same error message. Thanks!

EDIT

It seems, like RabbitMQ became RubbishMQ. The catch is I followed very standard and very basic steps to install RabbitMQ now on Ubuntu machine and got a terrible list of error messages once again. These are the steps I followed:

apt-get install pkg-config automake autoconf libsigc++-2.0-dev 
git clone git://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c.git
cd rabbitmq-c
# Enable and update the codegen git submodule
git submodule init
git submodule update
# Configure, compile and install
autoreconf -i && ./configure && make && sudo make install 
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

When I run the last command I get tons of error messages. Among them I see such as "error_logger ... Error when reading ./.erlang.cookie: eaccess". So, I guess there are some secret missing steps or some voodoo spell, that can make it work. But I do not know all that stuff and hope to hear some advice. This is what I expect to see - 1) step by step installation of RabbitMQ on Windows and step by step test, that all works 2) the same for Ubuntu. Ready, Steady, Go!

Solution

  • I faced the same problem and my investigations led me to https://stackoverflow.com/a/34538688 which helped me solve it. After following the steps in that answer, start the service and the problem should be solved.

    Basically, the problem is caused by the RabbitMQ installer not registering the service correctly.
