edx-platform - AMQPConnectionError of XQueue

I saw this error in the xqueue's log: /edx/var/log/xqueue/edx.log:

After a while looking around, I found out that the rabbitmq account using by xqueue had been mysteriously removed (just like the mongodb account of discussion service). So, To solve this issue I just need to create the rabbitmq account and grant appropriated privileges for that account.


# rabbitmqctl add_user myxqueue_user mypassword
# rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / myxqueue_user ".*" ".*" ".*"

Restart xqueue service:

# /edx/bin/supervisorctl restart xqueue
# /edx/bin/supervisorctl restart xqueue_consumer
