To use the new rabbitmq.conf file on windows you must re-install the service to let it use the conf file, and the file must exists on disk before you re-install the service.
Here’s the steps to enable the new rabbitmq.conf file:
- Go to the rabbitmq folder, usually “%appdata%\RabbitMQ”
- Create a file named “rabbitmq.conf” (if you want you can take the example file from github)
- Open the command prompt from start menu using the link “RabbitMQ Command Prompt (sbin dir)”
- Stop the service
rabbitmq-service stop
- Remove the service
rabbitmq-service remove
- Install the service
rabbitmq-service install
- Start the service
rabbitmq-service start
