RabbitMQ refuses connection

I'm running a stock RabbitMQ install on MacOS. Start the server up fine with just 'rabbitmq-server'.

Using the Java API I can easily connect to RabbitMQ with "localhost" as the host like this:

val factory = new ConnectionFactory()
factory.setHost( "localhost" )
val connection = factory.newConnection()

However, when I try a different IP (e.g. the actual IP of my machine) I get a connection refused error.

Exception in thread "main" java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

My ifconfig shows inet addresses like these:

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
inet 172.16.240.21 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.240.255
inet 192.168.59.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.59.255
inet 10.0.0.125 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255

The loopback 127.0.0.1 works. The others, however, don't. I need one of the other 3 to work.

Do I need to do something else to allow connection by my local IP?

There may be more than one solution, but what I found was this:

First open up loopback_users in rabbitmq.conf:

[{rabbit, [{loopback_users, []}]}].

Then I put my local machine's IP address in rabbitmq-env.conf (wherever its installed on your machine):

NODE_IP_ADDRESS=10.0.1.45

This defaulted to localhost for me, so these two changes together allowed my guest account to be accessed with a non-localhost IP.
