1) check that the plug-in and it's dependencies are indeed enabled, by 
running 'rabbitmq-plugins list'. That should show rabbitmq_management, 
rabbitmq_management_agent, rabbitmq_mochiweb, amqp_client, mochiweb, 
webmachine all as explicitly ('E') or implicitly ('e') enabled. If not, 
run 'rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management' and check again.

2) make sure you *re-install* the Windows service - 'rabbitmq-service 
remove' followed by 'rabbitmq-service install'. Just re-starting it is 
*not* enough in RabbitMQ 2.x (though it is in 3.x).

3) check that your running server has started the corresponding Erlang 
applications by running 'rabbitmqctl status'. This should show all the 
aforementioned applications in the 'running_applications' section. If 
not then enabled console logging in the service (see the section at the 
end of https://www.rabbitmq.com/man/rabbitmq-service.man.html; again 
this will require re-installing the service) and check the created log 
file for any errors/warnings once the service has restarted.

Matthias.
