RabbitMQ not allowing access to management portal

[Tina Kurian]

So i had rabbitmq running locally, but my laptop rebooted and suddenly, i can't seem to reach the management portal when starting rabbit. This is what i see: 

----------------------------------------------------------

I've also attempted to enable the plugins, which seems to work fine: 

----------------------------------------------------------
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management                                         70 ✘  took 6s   at 11:16:24 am 
Enabling plugins on node rabbit@localhost:
rabbitmq_management
The following plugins have been configured:
  rabbitmq_amqp1_0
  rabbitmq_delayed_message_exchange
  rabbitmq_management
  rabbitmq_management_agent
  rabbitmq_mqtt
  rabbitmq_stomp
  rabbitmq_stream
  rabbitmq_web_dispatch
Applying plugin configuration to rabbit@localhost...
Plugin configuration unchanged.

----------------------------------------------------------

However, when navigating to localhost: 15672, i get a "page can't be reached" error. 


Any ideas on how i can resolve this?


Many thanks in advance,

Tina.
