"Error when reading ./.erlang.cookie: eacces" while enabling rabbitmq plugin

I installed rabbitmq on kali linux. I started the service sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server Then I tried to enable the management plugin rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management But I am getting this error: Error when reading ./.erlang.cookie: eacces Looks like I am not not authorized to read from the cookie. How can I resolve this? I tried this sudo chmod 600 ./.erlang.cookie and sudo chmod 600 /var/lib/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie but did not help
