The rabbitmqctl status output you posted suggests you got it running OK, 
but for the record:  If you've successfully compiled it, you can either 
symlink in into rabbitmq-server/plugins/ or drop the rabbithub.ez in the 
same place.  RabbitMQ should then tell you the RabbitHub has started up 
during boot.

It will be running under control of RabbitMochiweb at
http://localhost:55672/rabbithub/

In general you'll need to address endpoints, e.g.,
http://localhost:55672/rabbithub/endpoint/x/amq.direct

RabbitHub implements PubSubHubbub (a.k.a., PuSH), which isn't RESTful 
(and shouldn't be).  However, it *is* a fairly idiomatic use of HTTP.

Hope this helps; have fun!
