title: Unable to access RabbitMQ admin page of RabbitMQ server running on a Debian Wheezy instance in Google Compute Engine
body: <p>I'm using a Debian Wheezy instance on Google Compute Engine. I installed rabbitmq on the machine using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It shows that the server is running when I run the command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo rabbitmqctl status
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I then also installed the management plugin using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also have uncommented the ulimit line in <code>/etc/default/rabbit-mq</code> server file and then restarted rabbitmq using <code>sudo service rabbitmq-server restart</code></p>
  
  <p>However, when I try to access the admin page using <a href="http://[my_machine_ip]:15672" rel="noreferrer">http://[my_machine_ip]:15672</a>, it shows 'webpage is not available' message. I have also opened port tcp:15672 in the firewall for the network being used by the VM instance. Still, I'm unable to access the admin page.</p>
