EasyNetQ fails to publish to RabbitMQ - PersistentChannel timed out

Question

I am trying to connect to RabbitMQ with EasyNetQ. RabbitMQ is on remote VM.

_rabbitBus = RabbitHutch.CreateBus(
    string.Format(\"host={0};virtualhost={1}\         


        

Answer 1

Did you check your credentials. The default username and password is 'guest' and 'guest'. The error message is not very helpful. You get 'None of the specified endpoints were reachable' if there's an authentication error as well

Answer 2

As Mike suggested i had this and then checked the permissions. "guest" user can only connect via localhost (see RabbitMQ Access Control.) Try adding a user with permissions using the management interface and then connect as below

var _bus = RabbitHutch.CreateBus(string.Format("host={0};virtualhost={1};username={2};password={3}", 
_hostSettings.Host, _hostSettings.VHost, _hostSettings.UserName, _hostSettings.Password));
