By default, trying to access RabbitMQ Management UI (http://localhost:15672/) from a remote machine is not allowed. You must turn this on by setting the setting an environment variable and then creating a rabbitmq.config file before installing rabbitmq on Windows.
Here are the steps before you install.
Clean Install on Windows Server 2012:
- Set System Environment Variables
- Go to System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables
- Under System variables > New...
- variable name : RABBITMQ_BASE
variable value : c:\rabbitmq - Click OK
- Click OK at Environment Variables screen.
- Create a new file called rabbitmq.config in c:\rabbitmq
- Edit rabbitmq.config and paste the following into it:
[{rabbit, [{loopback_users, []}]}].
- Install Erlang
- Go to http://www.erlang.org/download.html
- Download: OTP 17.5 Windows 64-bit Binary File (91.1 MB)
- Install RabbitMQ
- Go to https://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html
- Download: RabbitMQ 3.5.3 Windows
If you already installed rabbitmq, you will need to uninstall rabbitmq service and then do the above 1 through 3 steps.
