Ubuntu installation doesn't have configuration files and plugins

[esseredigitale]

Hi,
I have installed on Ubuntu using instructions in https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html and the server seems to start correctly.
I have installed management plugin to, but at http://:15672 no response.
Searching for configuration file rabbitmq.conf and plugins folder I can't find them!
Where can I find them?
Best regards

You must create them yourself in /etc/rabbitmq

I have installed management plugin to, but at http://:15672 no response.

• How did you enable the management plugin?
• What is the output of curl -4vu guest:guest localhost:15672/api/overview when run on the same server as RabbitMQ?

[esseredigitale]

I have enabled the management plugin and curl -4vu guest:guest localhost:15672/api/overview give me

• Trying 127.0.0.1:15672...
• Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 15672 (#0)
• Server auth using Basic with user 'guest'

GET /api/overview HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:15672
Authorization: Basic Z3Vlc3Q6Z3Vlc3Q=
User-Agent: curl/7.81.0
Accept: /

• Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse
  < HTTP/1.1 200 OK

I'm trying to call the web interface from an IP on same subnet: how can I fix it?

Networking, CORS configuration is covered in the plugin doc guide https://rabbitmq.com/management.html#configuration.

For remote access you must create a new user, tag it appropriately and grant it relevant permissions https://rabbitmq.com/access-control.html#default-state

done.

I have to create the configuration files.

[michaelklishin]

Yes, you have to create the configuration file(s) such as rabbitmq.conf.

[michaelklishin]

Once the plugin is enabled and you have created a configuration file, and you have created a new user with the appropriate tags and permissions (for remote access), you can then inspect the effective configuration, see what rabbitmq-diagnostics listeners reports, and try contacting the HTTP API.

See Troubleshooting Networking and server logs if you still cannot connect.

Please take it from here.

@esseredigitale I have edited @michaelklishin's comment. By mistake he left out an "and" that made it seem like RabbitMQ creates a configuration file for you. It does not - you must create the configuration files.

[esseredigitale]

Once the plugin is enabled a config file is created,

I can't find it

and a new user with the appropriate tags and permissions was added (for remote access), you can [inspect the effective configuration]

(https://rabbitmq.com/configure.html#verify-configuration-effective-configuration), see what rabbitmq-diagnostics listeners reports, and try contacting the HTTP API.

After the installation I don't find config ang plugin files.

[michaelklishin]

You must create the file yourself. Neither RabbitMQ nor the Debian package create an empty config file.

Another option is copying and modifying this example file but it is extensive and will be difficult to quickly inspect.

Plugin files ship with RabbitMQ. You do not need to interact with with the files as plugins are enabled using rabbitmq-plugins.

ok, clear

I'll try it

Sorry, but I can't find that directories. I find only /etc/rabbitmq/enabled-plugins but is empty

[michaelklishin]

The link above explains how the plugins are enabled. rabbitmq-plugins list then can be used to inspect their state (by default it assumes a local node is running).

You do not need to locate or do anything about the plugin directories.

ok, I made a new empty Ubuntu 22.04 VM and after an upgrade, I executed the CloudSmith install script:

sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server -y --fix-missing

and the broker starts correctly.
After this with sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management I should see management at http://:15762 but nothing.
What's the problem?

Playing curl -4vu guest:guest localhost:15672/api/overview gave me HTTP OK, but after tha creation of an user with administrative privileges and using a rabbitmq.conf with only these lines

listeners.tcp.default = 5672
management.tcp.port = 15672
management.tcp.ip   = 10.1.1.2

the output of curl -4vu admin:pwd localhost:15672/api/overview is Connection refused.

I'm going nuts!
Thanks a lot

I don't have the time to create a Ubuntu 22.04 VM, but I quickly put together a Dockerfile based on 22.04 and the commands you posted in your comment:

https://github.com/lukebakken/rabbitmq-server-8968

The Management starts as expected when I run these two commands:

make build
make run

privileges and using a rabbitmq.conf with only these lines
listeners.tcp.default = 5672
management.tcp.port = 15672
management.tcp.ip = 10.1.1.2
the output of curl -4vu admin:pwd localhost:15672/api/overview is Connection refused.

You are limiting the management UI to listen on 10.1.1.2, so using localhost will not work, as that IP address is 127.0.0.1.

What is the output of curl -4vu admin:pwd 10.1.1.2:15672/api/overview?

Please take a moment to learn about how to format code blocks on GitHub

[michaelklishin]

Our team cannot troubleshoot every user installation but there is a guide on troubleshooting network connectivity and another one for TLS-enabled connections.

You don't have to specify default ports in rabbitmq.conf and if you are new to RabbitMQ or
networking, do not bind any listeners to a specific IP address. Start with all defaults, then add configuration
as you need it, step by step.

I'm sorry, sure I will do it

[esseredigitale]

Unfortunately I didn't have much time to implement the installation, so I switched to ActiveMQ and everything works fine.
Thank you all for the support.
