missing rabbitmqadmin file in 3.7.2

[John McGonigal]

Hi all, sorry if this is a dumb question but I am quite new to RabbitMQ so please forgive me.

 

We have just installed RabbitMQ 3.7.2 and I am trying to install the CLI tools as per http://www.rabbitmq.com/management-cli.html.

 

The management plugin has been installed but when I navigate to http://{hostname}:15672/cli/ and click on the link to download rabbitmqadmin, I get nothing – the file appears to be missing.

 

We installed an older version (3.6.6) and on here, the link works fine and the file is there.

 

Am I doing something wrong or is this file missing in 3.7.2?

 

Thanks for any help.

Hi John,

Browsing to http://localhost:15672/cli/ should bring up a web page with a description of rabbitmqadmin. There is a link on the page that you can use to download the file - http://localhost:15672/cli/rabbitmqadmin

Hi Luke, thanks for the reply.

I found the problem - I think there is a problem with that link, at least in my installation. I noticed that the "download it" link at http://localhost:15672/cli actually takes you to http://localhost:15672/rabbitmqadmin, and not http://localhost:15672/cli/rabbitmqadmin.

Is it just my installation that does that?

Hi John,

Here is how I'm testing with 3.6.14 -

curl -4vvv -u guest:guest localhost:15672/cli

curl -4vvv -u guest:guest localhost:15672/cli/

Both of those commands return an HTML file with an information page for rabbitmqadmin.

curl -4vvv -u guest:guest localhost:15672/cli/rabbitmqadmin

That command returns the command itself (it is a Python program).

I see exactly the same behavior with version 3.7.2, as well.

Using version 3.6.6, the URI that ends without a slash returns a 301 redirect to http://localhost:15672/cli/ - requests to that URI return the same informational page as with 3.6.14 and 3.7.2.

It appears that localhost:15672/cli/rabbitmqadmin is the only URI that works. I can't explain what you are seeing in your environment, but I will update the documentation.

Thanks!

Clicking the "download it" link yields:

{"error":"Object Not Found","reason":"Not Found"}

Hello,

That link works fine for me, and links to /cli/rabbitmqadmin

I am assuming that you're using version 3.7.2. Which package did you install?

Thanks,

It's to do with how you go to the cli page in the first place and whether you put the trailing slash on the end.

If you do (http://localhost:15672/cli/), the download link works fine

If you don't (http://localhost:15672/cli), the link does not work (the download link for python script file misses the /cli/ from the path, as per the picture from V Z.

It's a really minor point and I should have noticed it really. When I type a URL I rarely type a trailing slash, so just missed it.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.
