After installing RabbitMQ (rabbitmq-server-3.6.0) and Erlang (esl-erlang_18.2-1-windows_i386) I am not able to see the port 5672 in list of listening ports in by netstat -an command but in task manager under services category I am able to see RabbitMQ with Running status.
After installing RabbitMQ I had created two environment variables. they are:
RABBITMQ_SERVICE to C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.6.0
and
RABBITMQ_BASE to C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server
Later I reinstalled Rabbitmq and Erlang but not from scratch as I was not able to delete files completely.
Is my server up? Or is my installation wrong? Or do I have to anything in excess.
I completely have no idea on it or what is going on.
yes, this was solved. I didn't have permission to install new software on my machine. Though it showed as installed successfully because of permission issues I was not able to use the tool. once permission issues got resolved everything was fine :).
