How To Fix "Starting broker... completed with 0 plugins." In RabbitMq

When you install RabbitMQ, it comes with a default configuration that includes some plugins. However, if you try to run RabbitMQ without any additional configuration, you may encounter an error like the one below:

Logs: <stdout>
        c:/Users/<COMPUTER NAME>/AppData/Roaming/RabbitMQ/log/rabbit@Japan.log
        c:/Users/<COMPUTER NAME>/AppData/Roaming/RabbitMQ/log/rabbit@Japan_upgrade.log

  Config file(s): (none)

  Starting broker... completed with 0 plugins.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This error message indicates that RabbitMQ was unable to start because it could not find any plugins to load. Fortunately, this error can be easily fixed by installing the management plugin.

To install the management plugin, follow these steps:

  1. Open a command prompt or terminal window.

  2. Navigate to the RabbitMQ sbin directory. For example, on Windows, the command may look like:

cd "C:\Users\ndohj\Downloads\rabbitmq-server-windows-3.11.10\rabbitmq_server-3.11.10\sbin"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Run the following command to enable the management plugin:
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This command installs the management plugin, which provides a web-based interface for managing RabbitMQ.

  1. Restart the RabbitMQ server by running the following command:
rabbitmq-server.bat
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This command starts the RabbitMQ server with the newly installed management plugin.

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:15672. This will bring up the RabbitMQ management interface.

If everything was installed and configured correctly, you should see a login page where you can enter your RabbitMQ credentials.

That's it! You should now be able to use RabbitMQ with the management plugin installed. If you encounter any further issues, be sure to leave a comment or check the RabbitMQ documentation or seek help from the RabbitMQ community.
