How to run RabbitMQ

To run RabbitMQ broker 'synchronously' in the command-line prompt, and to be shown config errors in case of errors, use:


`./sbin/rabbitmq-server start`

To run RabbitMQ normally (silently fails on config errors) use:

`./sbin/rabbitmq-service start`

Also remember that the rabbitmq.config.example file is garbage: it uses the obsolete syntax and fails to configure out of the box. Also its name is wrong! RabbitMQ looks for rabbitmq.conf and never uses the .configure extension.

Remember that on Windows, the path you want is %APPDATA%\RabbitMQ\rabbitmq.conf
