Can't connect to management interface plugin when building from source...

[Nvrnight]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a development environment going for the rabbitmq_management plugin, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock and I have no doubt there's probably something really dumb I'm doing(or not doing).

I have the umbrella project checked out and have been able to build everything in it. I have downloaded the generic binary 3.3.5, when I start it up out of the box the web management interface works fine, but when I use the plugin from my source directory(umbrella/rabbitmq-management) I can't connect to the web interface. I put a link in the plugins folder to my source folder and it enables just fine via the rabbitmq-plugins script, I start up the server and it says "Starting broker... completed with 6 plugins.", but when I go to http://localhost:15672(also tried 55672) it says Server Closed Unexpectedly.

I'm running on Arch Linux x86_64.

Don't expect master plugins to be compatible with broker releases.

Run rabbitmq-server from umbrella/rabbitmq-server. You will need to link all
plugins and their dependencies to ./plugins and also export

RABBITMQ_ENABLED_PLUGINS_FILE=./etc/rabbitmq/enabled_plugins

To enable the plugins, use ./scripts/rabbitmq-plugins or even edit
the plugins file directly.

Ah, I had ran into issues and ready on the internet that I should be using the generic compiled binary instead of from source, but that was back in 2012 so things have changed heheh.

Exporting RABBITMQ_ENABLED_PLUGINS_FILE=./etc/rabbitmq/enabled_plugins was the missing piece of my puzzle, everything is working for me now, thanks a lot!
