I have RabbitMQ installed and started. The service is running as well. However, when I try to open the management interface in firefox, I get this error:

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:#####. (##### being several port numbers i tried).

I checked the ports and made sure that they were correct as well as trying to reinstall RabbitMQ.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I think you should check a few things:

the management plugin is not enabled by default, you need to run the below command to enable it: (see https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html)

rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

Also this runs on port 15672 by default, it is possible the server/network is blocking this port. You will need to check that the port is open.
