RabbitMQ failed to start, TCP connection succeeded but Erlang distribution failed

Question

I\'m a new one just start to learn and install RabbitMQ on Windows System.

I install Erlang VM and RabbitMQ in custom folder, not default folder (Both of them).

Answer 1

I have encountered the same error after installing Erlang VM and RabbitMQ using the default installation folders in Windows 10. Managed to start the management and access it via HTTP, but status failed with this error.

The cookie was fine in all folders (%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%, %USERPROFILE%, C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile).

I had to perform a restart the Windows to make it work. After restart it set up something to run at startup + asked permission to make an exception in the firewall.
