RabbitMq Connection to 127.0.0.1:5672 Failed

Question

I'm currently following a rabbitmq tutorial and running into an issue. No matter how close I follow the tutorial I keep getting this error when trying to run my send.py and receive.py:

pika.exceptions.ConnectionClosed: Connection to 127.0.0.1:5672 failed: [Errno 61] Connection refused

This is the send.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import pika

connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(host='localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()

channel.queue_declare(queue='hello')

channel.basic_publish(exchange='',
                      routing_key='hello',
                      body='Hello World!')
print(" [x] Sent 'Hello World!'")
connection.close()

This is the receive.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import pika

connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(host='localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()

channel.queue_declare(queue='hello')

def callback(ch, method, properties, body):
    print(" [x] Received %r" % body)

channel.basic_consume(callback,
                      queue='hello',
                      no_ack=True)

print(' [*] Waiting for messages. To exit press CTRL+C')
channel.start_consuming()

I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've looked at other post on here that ask a similar question but still no dice.

Answer 1

I used the same tutorial it seems, and they did miss the dependency to install and run rabbitmq

After doing brew install rabbitmq and then brew services start rabbitmq the connection to localhost on Pika then works
