[rabbitmq-discuss] Plugins not starting?

[Jon Brisbin]

The management plugin only works in version 2 and later of the broker.

"(Update 2010-09-22: Note that the plugins referenced in this blog post are for version 2.0.0 of RabbitMQ. We’ve now released 2.1.0 - for this and subsequent versions you can get the management plugin from here)."

The plugins on the download page all have "v2.1.0" in their path names. I'm assuming that means if you've downloaded from the website, you'll have to run the 2.1.0 broker to use them.

Using it on Ubuntu is super simple. Use the apt repo the Rabbit folks keep up-to-date:
