hello,

Apparently you have other mosquitto process already started/running and using port 1883 when you try to start mosquitto.service in parallel and fails because the port is already in use. Try to identify service which started the process using port 1883:

find PID of the process which is using port 1883:

Code: Select all

sudo netstat -anp | grep :1883

example:

$ sudo netstat -anp | grep 1883
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:1883 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 547/mosquitto

this means process PID is 547

Then try to find service which started this process:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl status <PID>

example:

sudo systemctl status 547

Don't you have another mosquitto i.e. running in Docker container?

[marktn]

Thanks! I see somebody with experience.
No docker running or another mosquitto. Not that i know. I don't have a lot of experience with this.

Is this what you need?

hello,

Check the content of /etc/rc.local file. Maybe you have a command to start mosquitto in it. In that case system tries to start one mosquitto by rc-local.service and another mosquitto by mosquitto.service. If it mosquitto command is present in /etc/rc.local comment it out or remove the line. Then do:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start mosquitto
sudo systemctl status mosquitto

or reboot the system.

The error is the same..
Also did a reboot, to be sure. And checked the settings.

Maybe an idea,to do a remote desktop with teamviewer?

[ferrosk]

as I can see now it fails with return code 3 which is different as before:

Process: 824 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mosquitto -c /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf (code=exited, status=3)

so check the log file /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log what is the error now

according to timestamp (1671284340), the logs from last run are the following:

1671284340: mosquitto version 2.0.12 starting
1671284340: Config loaded from /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf.

looks like no errors... strange

try stop / remove the log / start again and check status/logs:

sudo systemctl stop mosquitto
sudo rm /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log
sudo systemctl start mosquitto
sudo systemctl status mosquitto
sudo cat /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log

Still a failure..

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl stop mosquitto
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo rm /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log

do you have config file /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf present?

What if you you start it manually with default config (without using above config file):

sudo -u mosquitto /usr/sbin/mosquitto

Just for reference. We fixed the problem via teamviewer.

When tried to start without using config file (default config):

Code: Select all

sudo -u mosquitto /usr/sbin/mosquitto

it started OK.

When tried to start with using config file:

Code: Select all

sudo -u mosquitto /usr/sbin/mosquitto -c /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf

it failed with error:

Error: Unknown configuration variable "listner".

The reason was typo in variable in the config file - it was fixed and started OK.
