In an OpenStack Folsom installation, my quantum server logs at /var/log/quantum/server.log shows:

What could be causing this error?

AMQP server in this case refers to RabbitMQ.

The simple answer is that the quantum server can't log into rabbitmq. Since you're NOT getting an "ECONNREFUSED" error, the server is contactable which means that there is most likely a RabbitMQ server running on that IP.

Make sure your RabbitMQ password is correct. e.g. The Folsom guide says:

rabbitmqctl change_password guest password

...meaning that the rabbitmq user is 'guest' and the rabbitmq password is 'password'.

This must match the username and password listed in /etc/quantum/quantum.conf

# IP address of the RabbitMQ installation
rabbit_host = 10.0.0.1
# Password of the RabbitMQ server
rabbit_password = password
# Port where RabbitMQ server is running/listening
# rabbit_port = 5672
# User ID used for RabbitMQ connections
# rabbit_userid = guest

(commented-out lines are default)
