RabbitMQ accepting connections but closing them before accepting any input

Question

So I just installed the latest version of rabbitmq and I\'ve been trying to get it to work. The server is running and I\'ve restarted it once just to be sure it\'s a consist

I ran into the same issue, using Ubuntu(16.04) as a subsystem on Windows and rabbitmq 3.7.8. I noticed that when running sudo rabbitmqctl status the listeners showed the following:

{listeners,[{clustering,25672,"::"},{amqp,5672,"::"}]}

I fixed this issue by creating a rabbitmq config file and specifying the localhost and port 5762

Here is what i did step by step.

1. Using sudo && vim, I created a 'rabbitmq.conf' file, located in /etc/rabbitmq/

   sudo vim /etc/rabbimq/rabbitmq.conf
   

2. I specified the localhost(127.0.0.1) and port(5672) for the default tcp listener in the rabbitmq.conf file

   listeners.tcp.default = 127.0.0.1:5672
   

3. Restart rabbitmq

   sudo service rabbitmq-server stop

   then

   sudo service rabbitmq-server start

4. Check sudo rabbitmqctl status and look at the listeners, you should see your new tcp listener with the localhost ip sepcified

   {listeners,[{clustering,25672,"::"},{amqp,5672,"127.0.0.1"}]}

Here is the config docs from rabbitmq that may help clarify some of these steps.
