RabbitMQ Config File: How to Modify

The configuration file for RabbitMQ is located at /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf and can be modified by editing this file.

Here are some common configuration options and their meanings:

1. The default port for TCP listeners is 5672.
2. The default SSL port for listeners is 5671.
3. The default user is a guest.
4. The default password is “guest.”
5. The default vhost is set to /.
6. The cacert.pem file is located at the specified path in the ssl_options.cacertfile variable.
7. The file path for the server certificate is specified in the SSL options as ssl_options.certfile = /path/to/server/cert.pem.
8. The key.pem file for the server is located at /path/to/server.

After modifying the configuration file, RabbitMQ needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect. You can use the following command to restart RabbitMQ:
