Unable to Access RabbitMQ Web Interface

I have built RabbitMQ 3.7.3 from source on Ubuntu 16.04 using the following steps:

1)Installed Erlang 20.0, Elixir 1.6.1 and hex 0.17.3.

2) git clone https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server.git && cd rabbitmq-server/ && git checkout v3.7.3 && make all

The build was successful and I'm able to start the server using make run-broker and also can see server status using rabbitmqctl status but I can't enable the management plugin as its not found in the source. Is it built/downloaded during the build? How do I get and enable the Management plugin in order to access the UI?

I'm following http://www.rabbitmq.com/build-server.html and https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html

Why not just download the latest build, which includes the plug-in? - theMayer

The RabbitMQ team monitors this mailing list and only sometimes answers questions on StackOverflow.

As theMayer said, you really should be using a package. To build from source and have plugins available, use this project:

https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-public-umbrella

The following command will run the broker with the management plugin enabled:

make PLUGINS='rabbitmq_management run-broker

The source for the RabbitMQ Management Plug-in is located on GitHub, at the following location:

https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management

There are guides available as well for building, and I'm not sure about installing it as I've only ever used the pre-packaged builds.

By default RabbitMQ web management console runs on port 15672. So you will need to allow this port through UFW firewall. By default UFW firewall is disabled in Ubuntu 16.04, so you will need to enable it first. You can enable UFW filrewall with the following command:

sudo ufw enable

Once UFW is enabled, allow port 15672 using the following command:

sudo ufw allow 15672
