[rabbitmq-discuss] Running RabbitMQ as a Windows Service - Having some problems

Mon Sep 1 06:17:44 BST 2008

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the response.

The Erlang process goes up (it seems erlsrv when started takes the process
up) and I can telnet to port 5672 and get a response that contains the words
AQMP (which is usually the quickest way I check if the service is up), but
when I run "rabbitmqctrl status" it says the node is down.
