[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq-management plugin not listening

Thu Jan 17 16:42:15 GMT 2013

I followed the very straightforward instructions on the management plugin page from the rabbitmq documentation, but I seem to be missing something because I don't see any indication that the plugin is starting or listening on the port I specified. I'm running the latest rabbitmq on a centos 6 VM and I've opened port 15672 in iptables. When I run a netstat -ntap, I don't see that port listening on any interface. I've installed a very basic configuration of rabbitmq and added one other node in a cluster configuration with HA mirroring configured. I've been able to successfully test everything I've installed using the tutorials up until now. I don't see anything giving me any clue in the logs, except that perhaps there is nothing telling me the plugin is starting. I've tried searching through the documentation, but I'm out of ideas as to what to check next.

Any pointing in the right direction would be great. Thank you in advance.
