ii  rabbitmq-server     2.7.1-0ubuntu4      An AMQP server written in Erlang

# apt-get install rabbitmq-server

[ ] webmachine                        1.7.0-rmq0.0.0-hg

Now to enable the web UI plugin

# /usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/rabbitmq_server-2.7.1/sbin/rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
The following plugins have been enabled:
  mochiweb
  webmachine
  rabbitmq_mochiweb
  amqp_client
  rabbitmq_management_agent
  rabbitmq_management

Plugin configuration has changed. Restart RabbitMQ for changes to take effect.

Restarting rabbitmq-server: SUCCESS

Check the Web UI

on your browser try http://localhost:55672 (or http://localhost:15672 for newer versions of rabbitmq) & login via default user and password which is guest:guest & you will be able to see it all.

Hope it helps.

Solution 2:

The rabbitmq-plugins script (and the whole concept of bundling plugins with the server release) was only introduced in RabbitMQ 2.7.0. If you want to keep using 2.5.0 then you should download the necessary plugin binaries from http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/plugins/, drop them in /usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/rabbitmq_server-2.5.0/plugins/ and restart.

(The necessary binaries for management are amqp_client, mochiweb, webmachine, rabbitmq_mochiweb, rabbitmq_management_agent and rabbitmq_management.)

If that sounds like a pain (well, this is why we changed it in 2.7.0!), you should consider upgrading to 2.7.1. You don't need to build from source - we make .deb packages available and have an apt repository - see http://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html

Solution 3:

Once you installed erlang and rabbitmq-server you can find rabbitmq-plugin installed in the following directory:

/usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/rabbitmq-plugins

then, do a symlink like this,

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/rabbitmq-plugins /usr/local/bin/rabbitmq-plugins

after this you are done.

For plugin management, see the below file.

sudo vim /etc/rabbitmq/enabled_plugins

Solution 4:

I exactly faced this problem on Ubuntu 18.04.1 and was not able to enable the rabbitmq_management.

In my case mistake I did was to instal erlang after rabbitmq-server so it was not working fine. (not fully sure why but was getting exact same problem)

As solution I just uninstalled the rabbitmq-server, installed the rabbitmq-server again and all worked just fine below are the complete steps if can help others.

sudo apt-get remove rabbitmq-server
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl status rabbitmq-server (to check status only)
sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
sudo rabbitmqctl add_user admin admin
sudo rabbitmqctl set_user_tags admin administrator
