How to change default port(15672) of RabbitMQ Management plugin?

Question

I am running a RabbitMQ Management console on a machine where port above 10000 range are blocked using firewall. Can I change the port so that I can use any one of 9000 range ports ?

Please help!

Answer 1

RabbitMQ has a config file rabbitmq.config.example or just rabbitmq.config under /etc/rabbitmq directory on linux servers.

Locate the rabbitmq_management tuple and change the port value (default is 12345, change it to whatever you want).

Be sure to uncomment or add the following content into /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config file as shown below.

{rabbitmq_management,[{listener, [{port, 12345}]}]}

Then restart the RabbitMQ server instance once

$ sudo /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server restart

The documentation explains it well: https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html What makes me respond here is all above responses although correct, they use the legacy "syntax", the new and recommended way of configuring RabbitMQ moves away from the Erlang legacy style, story short:

management.tcp.port = 15672

Normally, RabbitMQ doesn't comes with config file, so you need to create it:

sudo nano /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config

And you can add this content

{rabbitmq_management,

            ]}

{rabbitmq_amqp1_0,

{rabbitmq_auth_backend_ldap,

{lager, [

].

As you can see, I changed my rabbitmq_management port to 3009 according to the firewall of my server.

After that, you need to modify the /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf by adding this line:

export RABBITMQ_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq"

The .config will be automatically added.

By the end, just restart the service:

sudo /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server restart

#rpm -qa  | grep rabbit
rabbitmq-server-3.6.10-1.el7.noarch
#rpm -ql  rabbitmq-server-3.6.10-1.el7.noarch

search file like /usr/sbin/rabbitmq-server

cat  /usr/sbin/rabbitmq-server | grep RABBITMQ_ENV

RABBITMQ_ENV=/usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/rabbitmq-env



open file # vi /usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/rabbitmq-env 

*change according to you port 

#DEFAULT_NODE_PORT=5672
DEFAULT_NODE_PORT=2055

After change first kill rabbitmq process and then restart.
