[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq behind nginx

Thu May 1 08:33:31 BST 2014

Port 5672 is AMQP. Port 55672 is the old HTTP management plugin port. 
(It's moved to port 15672.)

nginx can't proxy AMQP.

So are you trying to proxy AMQP or HTTP? If you are just trying to 
access RabbitMQ from non-localhost, why do you need nginx?

For default log file locations it depends how you installed RabbitMQ, 
see http://www.rabbitmq.com/relocate.html for the various possibilities.

Cheers, Simon
