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

[Eran Sandler]

I've managed to manually edit the arguments passed to the erlang 
interpreter by erlsrv and added all the necessary parameters for logging 
and for the db. So now I can start it as a Windows service and it seems 
to be working.


The log seems to behave correctly and when I telnet I see the log 
reporting on this.


When I run "rabbitmqctl status" I get the following error in the log:

** Connection attempt from disallowed node rabbitmqctl at yeddaweb7 **


Can it be a permissions problem of some kind? RabbitMQ's process runs 
under the Local system account while the process of rabbitmqctl runs 
under a local user.
