Client can't connect to RabbitMQ server on localhost

Question

I installed fresh RabbitMQ 3.1.3 on ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS by apt-get, and try to start consumers on the same server, but I have connection problem:

[PhpAmqpLib\Exception\AMQPRuntimeException]         
Error Connecting to server(113): No route to host

There is status of working server:

 {processes,[{limit,1048576},{used,125}]},
 {run_queue,0},
 {uptime,1265}]
...done.

I don't have any limitations by iptables (ports):

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

And etc/hosts is OK.

127.0.0.1 localhost
{IP-ADDRESS} ns1.***.org  ns1
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

Whay I'm doing wrong?

UPD: sudo netstat -nlp | grep 5672 returns: tcp6 0 0 :::5672 :::* LISTEN 2106/beam.smp

From rabbitMQ logs:

=INFO REPORT==== 2-Jul-2013::16:05:11 ===
started TCP Listener on [::]:5672

=INFO REPORT==== 2-Jul-2013::16:05:11 ===

=INFO REPORT==== 2-Jul-2013::16:35:04 ===

{handshake_timeout,handshake}

I tried to change localhost to ip6-localhost and sometimes when try to starting consumer, it returns:

[PhpAmqpLib\Exception\AMQPRuntimeException]             
Error Connecting to server(110): Connection timed out

UPD2 If I start consumer with debug flag and --env=prod (php .../app/console rabbitmq:consumer -w -d consumer_name), consumer starts and working.

please, attach script source code you are trying to connect with — pinepain, Jul 02 '13 at 13:47
I'll try to start consumer from Symfony2 console by [RabbitMQBundle](https://github.com/videlalvaro/rabbitmqbundle) with parameters of connection localhost:5672, vhost: / — Quantizer, Jul 02 '13 at 14:02
Can you connect to web admin interface (if enabled) on port 15672 by default? Did you explicitly pass connection arguments or use default one? — pinepain, Jul 02 '13 at 14:26
I'll try to wget from console on server, and get ~$ wget localhost:15672 --2013-07-02 16:30:26-- http://localhost:15672/ Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1 Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:15672... failed: Connection refused. — Quantizer, Jul 02 '13 at 14:31
can you provide config and probably turn on webadmin panel just add this to your config: {rabbitmq_management, [{listener, [{port, 15672}]}]} — pinepain, Jul 02 '13 at 16:01
I turn on with sudo `rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management`, but telnet localhost 15672 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused — Quantizer, Jul 02 '13 at 16:38
hmmm, drop me a message in skype (same login), it's an interesting problem, stack-overflow doesn't like long discussions in comments — pinepain, Jul 02 '13 at 17:19

If the necessary ports are not open on the rabbitmq server, you get this "No route to host" error when the client tries to connect.

To fix it, make sure the ports are open, if not, open them:

sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 5672 --syn -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 5673 --syn -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 15672 --syn -j ACCEPT

This sets it on temporally. Set it permanently with your iptables.

sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Then restart:

sudo service iptables restart

Problem was fixed with reconfiguring listen address from 0.0.0.0:5672 to 127.0.0.1:5672 and small security fixes in OS.
