Can't connect to RabbitMQ on Window Server 2012?

I've installed RabbitMQ 3.5.5 on Windows Server 2012 as a service by first installing Erlang (32 bit) and then following the RabbitMQ manual install instructions (https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-windows-manual.html)

The Windows service starts up fine, but nothing can connect.

When I run rabbitmq_server-3.5.5\sbin\rabbitmqctl.bat status I get the following output:

rabbit@XXXXXXXX:

  • connected to epmd (port 4369) on XXXXXXXX
  • epmd reports node 'rabbit' running on port 25672
  • TCP connection succeeded but Erlang distribution failed
  • suggestion: hostname mismatch?
  • suggestion: is the cookie set correctly?
  • suggestion: is the Erlang distribution using TLS?

current node details:

  • node name: 'rabbitmq-cli-1444@XXXXXXXX'
  • home dir: C:\Users\userxxxx
  • cookie hash: XDarCC/CmuhQpUEo95dj8g==

From the output and from netstat I can see that rabbit is running on port 4369.

I can start the server manually using rabbitmq-server.bat and everything works.

I can't find any additional cookies floating around except for the one in my user directory (C:\Users\userxxxx).

Does anyone have any ideas?

Are you sure that you don't have .erlang.cookie inside c:\windows . Have you copied the file as described here? rabbitmq.com/windows-quirks.html Copy the file .erlang.cookie manually from %SystemRoot% to %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%. – Gabriele Santomaggio

This a typo.

Copy the file .erlang.cookie manually from %SystemRoot% to %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%.
