I installed rabbitmq on kali linux. I started the service

 sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server

Then I tried to enable the management plugin

 rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

But I am getting this error:

 Error when reading ./.erlang.cookie: eacces

Looks like I am not not authorized to read from the cookie. How can I resolve this?

I tried this

sudo chmod 600 ./.erlang.cookie

and

sudo chmod 600 /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie

but did not help

I had to copy the .erlang.cookie file to $HOME directory.

sudo cp /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie $HOME

then i had to give read access to the file

 sudo chmod +r ./.erlang.cookie

finally

sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

    It should work if you skip the path change and permissions update, so just do sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management Commented Dec 16, 2022 at 11:25
