RabbitMQ new connection refused due to SocketException

Question

while trying to create a new connection to rabbitmq running on a different server, I got the following error:

Steps taken :

• rabbitmq is running on the server.
• server is specified
• default port is specified

lsof -i tcp:5672

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

beam.smp 3084 rabbitmq 15u IPv6 18611 0t0 TCP *:amqp (LISTEN)

rabbitmqctl list_connections

Listing connections ... guest client_server 55765 running ...done.

netstat -tapnl | grep 5672

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:15672 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3084/beam.smp

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:55672 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3084/beam.smp

tcp 0 0 :::5672 :::* LISTEN 3084/beam.smp

Answer 1

One of the possible reasons is that user you are connecting with to RabbitMQ has no rights to access to virtual hosts.

You can check this using Management Plugin (Admin tab).

Answer 2

• Do not specify the default port as you have mentioned in your steps.

• If you have not created virtual host on the actual server, where you are trying to connect, Do create a virtual host and give it admin permision.

• Set the virtual host on the factory before creating the new connection, like factory.setVirtualHost("VIRTUAL_HOST_NAME_ON_SERVER");

• Make sure username on the server on which you are trying to connect is Admin and have access to the Virtual Host you just created.

• Specify your username and password along with virtual host, while getting the connection.

• Start your application in Debug Mode, and check if it now passes, factory.newConection();

This should make your things work. Got the same exception, and it worked for me.

If it still does not work paste your code snippet.

Answer 3

You can check if the SSL/TLS support is enabled. Then use the instruction useSslProtocol :

ConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory();
factory.useSslProtocol();
