Allowing RabbitMQ-Server Connections

Question

I'm trying to get a Django Celery worker to connect to a RabbitMQ server, all running on the same host.

However, when I run manage.py celery worker all I get is:

[2013-06-11 17:33:41,185: WARNING/MainProcess] celery@localhost has started.
[2013-06-11 17:33:44,192: ERROR/MainProcess] Consumer: Connection Error: Socket closed. Trying again in 2 seconds...
[2013-06-11 17:33:50,203: ERROR/MainProcess] Consumer: Connection Error: Socket closed. Trying again in 4 seconds...
[2013-06-11 17:34:03,214: ERROR/MainProcess] Consumer: Connection Error: Socket closed. Trying again in 6 seconds...
[2013-06-11 17:34:27,232: ERROR/MainProcess] Consumer: Connection Error: Socket closed. Trying again in 8 seconds...

When I inspect my /var/log/rabbitmq/[email protected] I see several messages like:

=ERROR REPORT==== 11-Jun-2013::17:33:44 ===
exception on TCP connection <0.201.0> from 127.0.0.1:43461
{channel0_error,opening,
                {amqp_error,access_refused,
                            "access to vhost 'myapp' refused for user 'guest'",
                            'connection.open'}}

I'm using the standard package out of Ubuntu 12.04's repo, with the default settings and my django-celery settings look like:

BROKER_HOST = "localhost"
BROKER_PORT = 5672
BROKER_USER = "guest"
BROKER_PASSWORD = "guest"
BROKER_VHOST = "myapp"

Why is RabbitMQ refusing connections?

Solution

It looks like you need to grant access to the "/myapp" vhost for the "guest" user.

From the docs:

set_permissions [-p vhostpath] {user} {conf} {write} {read}

So something similar to this will give your guest user unlimited access:

rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p /myvhost guest ".*" ".*" ".*"

What if, I want to give by default full access to my vhost while creating from rabbitmq image? because if we run the application in docker container, then, in that case, we don't want any manual permissions to get the app working, in general.
