Take it its not running? How do I make it run lol... Sorry, Well beyond my skills. Im good at following instructions and learn at the same time

(see edits above)

If above doesn’t work, head to /etc/init.d and see if there’s a file in there called mosquitto. If not, check /etc/systemd/system and see if there’s a file in there called mosquitto.

If not, you’ve lost your start-as-service script for mosquitto. See 'Configuration and startup script' section at https://alexander-rudde.com/2014/02/ins ... rch-linux/ to put one back in place - follow from...

Create a .service file /etc/systemd/system/mosquitto.service with this content

...onwards. (Guide says for arch-linux, but is identical process as for raspbian)

[simon_rb]

So that might be my problem..
pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo systemctl enable mosquito
Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory

pi@raspberrypi:~$ pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo systemctl enable mosquitto
-bash: pi@raspberrypi:~$: command not found

[Marci]

(look up!)

[simon_rb]

I have a file called Mosquitto under /etc/init.d

[Marci]

k - Guessing raspbian have changed something so that systemctl no longer parses scripts in /etc/init.d (which is the old wheezy way of doing things).
Follow guide in post above to make a new jessie style systemctl service file, then try run the three systemctl commands again.

[simon_rb]

Follow the guide above.. Am I doing it from the start and reinstalling or following it from:-

Configuration and startup script

[Marci]

from "Create a .service file /etc/systemd/system/mosquitto.service with this content"

[simon_rb]

Its now running but same error within domoticz

Confirm it’s running with ps aux | grep mosquitto - that looks like it’s notifying you that it exited 3hrs or so ago...

Issue...

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl restart mosquitto

...then check with ps aux again.

[simon_rb]

Confirm it’s running with ps aux | grep mosquitto - systemctl can lie!

Your right, it lied. I have done whats in the guide and it still hasn't worked... Hmm
pi@raspberrypi:~$ ps aux | grep mosquitto

What happens if you just type mosquitto [enter]?

Code: Select all

pi@rasprf ~/ $ sudo systemctl stop mosquitto

K - in the service file, remove the -d off the end of the command if it’s there (according to comments at the bottom of the blog post), and check that mosquitto is where that file thinks it is (/usr/sbin)

[simon_rb]

Removed the -d and no luck however

ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/mosquitto -c /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf

the file inside /etc/mosquitto is there but there is nothing inside usr/local/sbin..

[Marci]

Hunt the mosquitto!

Code: Select all

sudo find / -type f -name mosquitto

[simon_rb]

Hunt the mosquitto!

/etc/init.d/mosquitto
/etc/logrotate.d/mosquitto

[Marci]

Mosquitto isn't installed.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mosquitto 

(I think...! Sure it's in the Raspbian repos now. If not, see mosquitto.org)

[simon_rb]

Mosquitto isn't installed.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mosquitto 

Oh.. How is it running? Is it just running but not installed lol... As a temp measure I ran mosquitto & and thats running fine and homekit is working as expected.. All was working until the apt update/upgrade..
