Zigbee2mqtt not starting

[ZatarraNL]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to install Zigbee2MQTT, but at starting Zigbee2MQTT I get the error: Port is not open.
My knowledge is limited, so I hope someone can help me. I tried searching al kinds of websites and forums, but allas, no results so far. I don't even know if it's usb related, sniffer firmware related, nodejs related or whatever. Help is appreciated.

Current situation:
- sniffer CC2531 flashed as described on zigbee2mqtt.io
- sniffer connected to pc with Debian 9 Stretch (Virtualbox on a Windows 10 machine) at port /dev/ttyACM1
- all the software installed as described on zigbee2mqtt.io, including the latest versions of node (v10.16.3) and npm (6.9.0).
- domoticz, latest version installed (not relevant yet, but just to be shure)
- /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data/configuration.yaml output:

Code: Select all

Does anybody know what's going wrong here?

Did you install the mosquito server (mqtt) on your system?

I had already checked the mosquitto server. Yes it is installed. v3.1 message broker. It's up and running as a daemon.

Update: I tried:

Code: Select all

sudo npm start

Adding 'sudo' works. So it seems to be a permission problem.
Maybe because i'm not using a rpi, but debian on a virtual machine. This means I do not have the user:group pi:pi. Could this be it?
