How do I stop the RabbitMQ server on localhost
amqp, rabbitmq
Solution
It turns out that it is related to permissions. Somehow my rabbitmq server was started with user 'rabbitmq' (which is strange), so that I had to do
sudo -u rabbitmq rabbitmqctl stop
Problem
I installed RabbitMQ server on OS X, and started it on command line. Now, it is not obvious that how I should stop it from running? After I did: ``` sudo rabbitmq-server -detached ``` I get: ``` Activating RabbitMQ plugins ... 0 plugins activated: ``` That was it. How should I properly shut it down? In the document, it mentions using `rabbitmqctl(1)`, but it's not clear to me what that means. Thanks. Edit: As per comment below, this is what I get for running `sudo rabbitmqctl stop`: ``` (project_env)mlstr-1:Package mlstr$ sudo rabbitmqctl stop Password: Stopping and halting node rabbit@h002 ... Error: unable to connect to node rabbit@h002: nodedown DIAGNOSTICS =========== nodes in question: [rabbit@h002] hosts, their running nodes and ports: - h002: [{rabbit,62428},{rabbitmqctl7069,64735}] current node details: - node name: rabbitmqctl7069@h002 - home dir: /opt/local/var/lib/rabbitmq - cookie hash: q7VU0JjCd0VG7jOEF9Hf/g== ``` Why is there still a 'current node'? I have not run any client program but only the RabbitMQ server, does that mean a server is still running?
