I cannot start rabbitmq on my mac

Question

I have brew installed rabbitmq on my mac and have tried the following

rabbitmq-server start

sbin/service rabbitmq-server start

and neither work.How do I start it?

Solution 1

You should be able to run /usr/local/sbin/rabbitmq-server or use brew services start rabbitmq

Solution 2

Here are a few commands to get you started. Just open your cli and type from anywhere

brew services start rabbitmq     //start 
brew services stop  rabbitmq     //stop

brew services restart rabbitmq   //restart 

You can also list all the running services by

brew services list

Alternative way -

Go to the directory where rabbitMQ is installed and run following commands

cd rabbitmq_server-3.5.3/      //check you's version 
sbin/rabbitmq-server           //start server 

sbin/rabbitmqctl shutdown      //stop server 

Solution 3

That worked. I saw this no where in the docs. How'd you know this?

@losee, You can use brew services start[stop/restart/list] for run RabbitMQ service in the background (or mysql, redis...). Homebrew installs packages in /usr/local/Cellar/ and then symlinks their files into /usr/local/
