I uninstalled rabbitMq using this guide: https://support.bioconnect.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011178868-How-to-Uninstall-RabbitMQ
- uninstalled RabbitMq and Erlang
- ended empd.exe in task manager
- deleted the directories for rabbitMQ and erlang
- deleted HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Ericsson from 'regedit'
- removed the service from services
- I also deleted the C:\Windows.erlang.cookie and C:\Users[username]/.erlang.cookie.
After I tried reinstalling using this other guide: https://cmatskas.com/getting-started-with-rabbitmq-on-windows/
- installed Erlang
- downloaded and installed rabbitMQ
- Navigate to the sbin directory of the RabbitMQ Server installation directory. 'C:\Program Files (x86)\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.3.4\sbin' and ran 'rabbitmq-plugins.bat enable rabbitmq_management'
I navigated to http://localhost:15672/ and the site was unreachable. I opened up services to make sure that the rabbitMq service was on and it was not even created. I tried running the command 'rabbitmq-service install' as admin and got the following back
RabbitMQ service is already present - only updating service parameters
C:\Program Files\erl9.2\erts-9.2\bin\erlsrv: Warning, could not set correct interactive mode. RabbitMQ
Error: The handle is invalid.
C:\Program Files\erl9.2\erts-9.2\bin\erlsrv: Warning, could not set correct service description (comment) RabbitMQError: The handle is invalid.
I am wondering if i missed a step somewhere. Cant get rabbit to work.
