I am trying to start my Eclipse Mosquitto broker service for listening to websockets adding:
listener 8083
protocol websockets
at the mosquitto.conf
If I only use listener 8083, the service starts but when protocol websockets is added, the service stops and refuses to start.
The error I get if I run:
mosquitto -v -c mosquitto.conf
is: 1588309602: Error: Unable to start any listening sockets, exiting.
The full output is:
1588309602: mosquitto version 1.6.9 starting
1588309602: Config loaded from mosquitto.conf.
1588309602: Opening websockets listen socket on port 8083.
1588309602: Error: Unable to start any listening sockets, exiting.
I am under Windows10 Pro.
Any ideas?
The answer to this:
Based on trials I can confirm that you need to mention a default port initially e.g.
port 1883
protocol mqtt
# Websockets
listener 9001
protocol websockets
if you only wish to use WebSockets for MQTT then instead of using listener 9001 you need to replace it with port 9001.
There should be atleast one default port to listen to in Mosquitto MQTT.
Verified using Mosquitto 1.6.10
I am posting an answer based on facts.
I have uninstalled version 1.6.9 and installed 1.6.7 and now the service is running using websockets...
I cannot confirm if this is an issue with 1.6.9 but this is what happened to me.

According to other sources, the error lies in 1.6.10 (and perhaps others), whereby, there MUST be a standard protocol mqtt defined, otherwise websockets will not start.
Thus you can leave the standard configuration alone (port 1883) and then in the
Extra listeners section of mosquitto.conf, define the websockets listener as you like.
I believe this has been remedied in later versions, so that only websockets can be defined.
Sadly, in this case the only defense against unauthorized use of the broker over the standard mqtt socket is then the system firewall for external users. Users with ssh access can "play".
The mqtt protocol has to be enabled for the websockets to work.
As the option port (like others have mentioned) is deprecated in versions 2.x.x, you can use listener instead.
listener 1883
protocol mqtt
listener 9001
protocol websockets
And then run your mosquitto server as usual.

I have a Mosquitto 2.0.14 broker running in a Windows server 2019. I can connect to it over port 8883 using mqtts protocol with SSL enabled. I can also connect to it on port 1883 without SSL.
Now I want to connect using Websockets. So I added a listener as:
listener 9001
protocol websockets
allow_anonymous false
password_file C:\mosquitto\password.txt
http_dir C:\mosquitto\http_dir
set_tcp_nodelay true
I also tried without http_dir and set_tcp_nodelay. I have tried with and without SSL certificates.
I have port 9001 opened in windows firewall as well as on AWS EC2 instance security groups.
But when I try to connect to the broker using ws://broker.mysite.com:9001 or ws://broker.mysite.com:9001/mqtt nothing happens. No error, no connection. Mosquitto does not show any logs even though I can see the request coming in using WireShark. I am really stuck here. please help me out.
Edit:
I have tried to connect using MQTTX, MQTT Explorer and MQTTBox Chrome App.
As per the comments this issue has been noted previously (in this answer), however I figure its worth repeating here to aid others who experience the problem.
In short - there appears to be a bug in Mosquitto versions 2.0.12, 2.0.13 & 2.0.14 running on Windows when listening for websocket connections. Whilst the broker appears to be listening (on the correct port) it does not, in fact, accept connections (and nothing is logged). I have not investigated in detail but the cause is going to be something about the way the socket is being configured.
There is a workaround - add socket_domain ipv4 under the listener e.g.
listener 9001
protocol websockets
allow_anonymous false
password_file C:\mosquitto\password.txt
http_dir C:\mosquitto\http_dir
set_tcp_nodelay true
socket_domain ipv4
See this issue in the github repo for more information.
today I wanted to set up a simple mosquitto server on my windows machine for testing.
I am using "MQTT Explorer" for convenience and downloaded the latest 2.0.14 mosquitto binaries for windows (I am using Windows 10).
However I am unable to connect to my local server with Mosquitto 2.0.14, 2.0.13 and 2.0.12.
My connection is successful with 2.0.11, 2.0.10, 2.0.9a and 2.0.7 but these versions only work when I also have a standard http listener in the config (which I do not want since later on I only want one wss listener).
This is the config I am using:
allow_anonymous true
#HTTP listener
listener 1883
#Websocket standard listener
listener 9001
protocol websockets
This is the server output I get when using 2.0.14, 2.0.13 or 2.0.12 after my connection failed:
And this is the output when using 2.0.11, 2.0.10, 2.0.9a or 2.0.7 but without the http listener in the config:
Can anyone reproduce this behaviour or tell me where I messed up?
As per the comments I was able to duplicate the issue with Mosquitto 2.0.14 and an issue has been raised.
A workaround is to add socket_domain ipv4 into the configuration - e.g.
allow_anonymous true
listener 9001
protocol websockets
socket_domain ipv4
I came across option in this issue and it does appear to fix the issue. Note that I have not looked into why this fixes the issue so this should be considered a temporary workaround until the issue mentioned above is updated.
Mosquitto config:
per_listener_settings true
listener 1883
protocol mqtt
listener 9001
protocol websockets
require_certificate false
log_type all
allow_anonymous true
In Node-Red, I have an MQTT Publish node set to publish to localhost:1883.
When I run mosquitto without the listener 9001 and protocol websockets lines, node-red successfully connects and publishes to a topic. But I need websockets for a react application. When I run it with websockets on port 9001, I get the following error in mosquitto:
New connection from 127.0.0.1:61482 on port 1883.
Sending CONNACK to nodered_7b952a504a975460 (0, 5)
Client nodered_7b952a504a975460 disconnected, not authorised.
I've even tried using the websocket as the url for the node-red publish node like this:
ws://localhost:9001 and ws://localhost:9001/mqtt. Neither works.
What do I have to do to be able to publish from node-red to my react app via a local mosquitto broker?
I had to remove per_listener_settings true from the config file. I didn't realize I had it in there at first. Unfortunately, I do not know why this is the case.
I can't connect to my queue on azure account using java code. It seems that the problem is the network. I can to connect with my private network but not with the company network.
I have this message error:
Exception in thread "main" http://com.microsoft.azure .servicebus.primitives.ServiceBusException: Error{condition=amqp:connection:framing-error, description='connection aborted', info=null}.
Any hints?
It seems that the problem is the network. I can to connect with my private network but not with the company network.
Yes, you are right. I also find the simlar issue on the github. It seems that your company firewall restriction which blocks all traffic on ports 5671 and 5672. We could get more information from AMQP 1.0 in Azure Service Bus and Event Hubs protocol guide.
Azure Service Bus requires the use of TLS at all times. It supports connections over TCP port 5671, whereby the TCP connection is first overlaid with TLS before entering the AMQP protocol handshake, and also supports connections over TCP port 5672 whereby the server immediately offers a mandatory upgrade of connection to TLS using the AMQP-prescribed model. The AMQP WebSockets binding creates a tunnel over TCP port 443 that is then equivalent to AMQP 5671 connections.
If possible, you could ask permission to open 2 ports in your company firewall.
I have a network of brokers with the following configuration
<transportConnectors>
<transportConnector name="tomer-amq-test2" uri="tcp://0.0.0.0:61616" updateClusterClients="true" rebalanceClusterClients="true" updateClusterClientsOnRemove="true"/>
</transportConnectors>
I expect that when I connect using the URL
failover:\(tcp://tomer-amq-test2:61616\)?backup=true
the broker shall update th client with the full list of brokers it is conencted too, and the client shall connect to one randomly, and to a second as backup
however this is not happening and the client connects only to the specified broker in the url
help anyone?
Tx Tomer
figured out the problem (at least on my env)
when a broker updates another broker that it is up, it identifies itself by the server name.
once the server name of all brokers was added to /etc/hosts on the client side, all was well
:)
I guess this is bad practice, and the broker should identify itself by ip and not by hostname
I was running activeMQ 5.5.1 on ubuntu 10.4
Your client will only be updated with the full broker-list if some or the following properties are true: updateClusterClients rebalanceClusterClients and updateClusterClientsOnRemove.
you have to set them manually on your client as they are false by default.
