RabbitMq SocketException connecting to remote server works despite exceptions

Question

I am using RabbitMQ 3.6.5, Erlang 19.0 and having a strange issue regarding exceptions

  var factory = new ConnectionFactory
        {
            HostName = _hostName,
            UserName = _uname,
            Password = _pwd,
            AutomaticRecoveryEnabled = true
        };
        _connection = factory.CreateConnection();

throws two exceptions

-SocketException "The requested address is not valid in its context"

-ConnectionFailure Exception "RabbitMQ.Client.Exceptions.ConnectFailureException' in RabbitMQ.Client.dll

Additional information: Connection failed"

simply changing the exception settings to not break execution solves the issue , (code does not stop execution) and the RabbitMQ connections work great.

Not sure how to get rid of these exceptions any help is appreciated. Iam hoping someone has encountered a similar issue as i don't know how I can provide steps to replicate this issue.

thanks!

Answer 1

The listening address you have specified is invalid for some reason.

Note that you cant use guest guest as user name and password for no localhost ip(s).

Read this Can't access RabbitMQ web management interface after fresh install

be sure to use only the ip in your ip as:

var factory = new ConnectionFactory() { HostName = "192.168.1.13" };
