i'm a newbie to rabbitmq , so while following these tutorials and  i'm trying to execute the hello world i'm getting this error ,

TypeError: Cannot read property 'createChannel' of undefined

This means there was a connection error. See the err argument to the callback.

Also see RabbitMQ log files. They will contain connection entries that
should provide a clue.

If Rabbitmq is on local machine as your client client code then use "localhost" instead of IP address. This because default Admin user "guest" connection is limited to localhost. Alternate is create a new admin user and 

send those credentials with IP address.

If rabbit mq is on remote machine. Create a new admin user and use those creditials in the following format n connect method amqp.connect()

"amqp://username:password@hostName:portNumber/

Thanks Sebastian!

In my case when specify the AMQP port number in the amqp URI, it worked.

"amqp://hostName:5672"
