RabbitMQ: Move base/data/db directory to another drive/location on Windows

Here’s the steps to move all the base RabbitMQ directory (with also data and log directory) to another location on Windows:

• open the command prompt from start menu using the link “RabbitMQ Command Prompt (sbin dir)”

• stop the service

rabbitmq-service stop

• kill the process “epmd.exe” from the task manager using the details tab

• move the folder from “%appdata%\RabbitMQ” to a different location for instance “D:\”

• install the service

rabbitmq-service install

• start the service

rabbitmq-service start

Enjoy!
