Note that there are two config files - the main one 
/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config which is an Erlang term file which 
contains things like the config you have above, and 
/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf which is a shell script which can set 
environment variables.

So you have the right contents but the wrong name.
