[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq.config location when running as a Windows service

[Gotthard, Petr]

Hi,

The trouble is that when I run in command-line 'rabbitmq-server start' then the config is found.
However, when I run the rabbitmq service in Windows, then the config is not found.

The most common error is to create the file in the wrong directory, or forget the ".config" extension. The default location is %APPDATA%\RabbitMQ\rabbitmq.config

This will happen if the config file is incorrectly named or in the wrong folder. A missing config file is not an error.
