I have just installed RabbitMQ on a fresh Windows 11 installation and enabled the management plugin by running the command rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
in the RabbitMq command prompt.
When I navigate to the RabbitMQ management website in my browser I see the following message:
What is the cause of this error message? And how do I fix the issue?
I'm using RabbitMQ version 3.13.3 with Erlang 27.0. I have not yet created any queues or users in RabbitMQ.
Edit: When I run the command rabbitmqctl list_feature_flags
I get the message Error: {:badrpc, :nodedown}
. So I can't simply list and enable feature flags.
The issue turned out to be twofold.
rabbitmqctl list_feature_flags
to see what feature flags were enabled or not. The command would return the error Error: {:badrpc, :nodedown}
. Running the command rabbitmqctl status
revealed the error: TCP connection succeeded but Erlang distribution failed
, which has a solution here. I needed to synchronize the Erlang cookies and then the rabbitmqctl status
command worked fine.rabbitmqctl list_feature_flags
works fine and lists enabled/disabled features. It was then a simple matter of enabling features with the command rabbitmqctl enable_feature_flag <feature_name>
. See more documentation on enabling features in the docs.
