RabbitMQ 3.6.5 Windows 10 nodedown "node 'rabbit' not running at all"

[Binary Worrier]

I've lost count of the number of times I've installed Rabbit on windows machines without any trouble, however Windows 10 has me tearing my hair out.

I'm a developer, not an admin, and I'm out of my depth, sorry.

I've installed erlang, I've installed RabbitMQ 3.6.5. 

The Rabbit Windows service "looks" like it's running in the services, but whne I run "rabbitmqctl status"

I get

Status of node rabbit@xxxxxx ...

Error: unable to connect to node rabbit@xxxxxx: nodedown

DIAGNOSTICS

===========

attempted to contact: [rabbit@xxxxxx]

rabbit@xxxxxx:

  * connected to epmd (port 4369) on xxxxxx

  * epmd reports: node 'rabbit' not running at all

                  other nodes on xxxxxx: ['RabbitMQ']

  * suggestion: start the node

current node details:

- node name: 'rabbitmq-cli-28@xxxxxx'

- home dir: U:\

- cookie hash: Lif7QN7grz+u/QV8ITHDNg==

                     

I literally do not know where to go from here.

Any and all help will be gratefully received

Dozens of similar threads in list archives, ranging from rabbitmqctl authentication to network drive issues. Inspecting server logs is a very good idea.

In this case it looks like the node indeed isn't running.

According to `rabbitmqctl status` the node is not running. See the list of OS processes — does it

have erlsrv.exe or beam.exe?

Have you checked server logs? If not it might be a good idea to do so and post them here.

Thanks, I got this sorted, by rooting through various Stackoverflow Q&As.

It seems the WIndows Installer doesn't install the service properly, and the rabbitmq-... bat files need homeshare and homedrive to be the boot drive.

Doing the following gets everything working

1. 1.  When running commands from the command line (such as enabling the management plugin), it doesn’t like that the homedrive and homeshare aren’t on C
Set homedrive=C:\
Set homeshare=C:\user\<username>

2.     2. There’s a known problem with the windows installer, you’ve to run
rabbitmq-service remove
rabbitmq-service install
to re-install the actual windows service (after doing 1. above)

3.     3. Once you’ve done that, register the admin plugin offline
rabbitmq-plugins.bat enable rabbitmq_management –offline

4.       Restart the machine and you’ll be able to browse to the admin console on http://localhost:15672/#/
