amqp not taking config hash provided

Question

I tried to start amqp with the correct amqp credential but it fails. I have started rabbitmq server at port 5678 and I am using amqp gem of version 0.7.0 and I am using ruby-1.9.2

Here are the logs for what I have done in irb

    from /Users/ckgagan/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p320/bin/irb:16:in `<main>'

Even though I tried to connect Rabbitmq server at 5678, its trying to connect to default port

Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1:5672

Why is it trying to connect to port 5672 even though I specified port 5678?

I am unable to figure this out and stuck here

Thanks

The AMQP configuration hash takes symbols as keys, not strings.

require "amqp"

AMQP.start({:host => "localhost", :port => 5678}) do
  puts "hello"
end

Also, you might want to consider upgrading to a more recent version of the gem. The CHANGELOG for 0.7 to 0.9.x or 1.0.0 is a couple of pages long.
