RabbitMQ fails to start

Problem solved!

My IT department has mapped %appdata% to a network share and it seems that the RabbitMQ scripts can’t work with that.

I solved the problem this way: Set the environment variable “RABBITMQ_BASE” to “c:\rabbitmq”, uninstall the service (rabbitmq-service.bat remove) and install the service again (rabbitmq-service.bat install).

I faced the same problem and was able to solve the problem following the steps mentioned below.

1. Run the command prompt as Administrator
2. Navigate to the sbin directory and uninstall the service. rabbitmq-service remove
3. Reinstall the service rabbitmq-service install
4. Enable the plugins. rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
5. Start the service rabbitmq-service start
6. Go to "http://localhost:15672/"
