Unable to open config file /home/USER/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf

[chrysa95]

Hello ,

I add the auth plugin in the mosquitto broker but when I am trying to run mosquitto -c /home/USER/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf it returns me the following error:

(i am following this tutorial http://www.yasith.me/2016/04/securing-mqtt-connection-using.html)

Error: Unable to open config file /home/USER/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf
Error found at /home/USER/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf:0.
Error: Unable to open configuration file.

Any ideas? Thanks !!

Do you definitely have the correct permission to access the file?

Commenting out the below in my config solved the above issue. It seems to know /var/lib/mosquitto/ is my persistent location without specifying it. For me, it was not a permissions issue.

#persistence_location /var/lib/mosquitto/

In some cases, I think it is able to open the configuration file. Even if you get the error "Error: Unable to open configuration file."

(I was hoping to see a reply from @chrysa95 how they resolved their issue?)

oui pour moi la solution était de donner toutes les autorisations au système

@chrysa95 did you solve the problem? Can the issue be closed?
