[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmqctl help

[Joel Grandin]

The cookie was the problem. Thanks to all for your help. Any opinions on good resources to read etc for a team not familiar to erlang.

Ok, so our best guess now is that you've got different cookies on both
machines. The erlang cookies must be the same - it's an authentication
token of sorts.

http://www.rabbitmq.com/install.html#running-windows-service
explains where the cookie is stored under windows. You need to make sure
the cookie files on both my-server-name and my-localhost are the same.
