sure !
Just another input for your guys while I am trying to install Mosquitto again… I had MQTT.fx runnning on another PC and till yesterday it was connecting properly with MQTT broker… In fact I was able to publish and subscribe messages…
now… MQTT.fx cannot connect to the broker… correct?
Yes
mosquitto ist kaput!! the mosquitto is dead, we don’t really know what you have been trying to do to get it back up and running so I think it’s better that you start from scracth and remove it and re-install it
@Dim, what do you think?

yes , that what i am doing now… I have purged mosquitto… and following the steps you mentioned in previous thread…
There is an open issue with Eclipse with regards to Mosquitto v1.5 on Debian Jessie (most likely this is what Rajeev) is running
If you specify any networking options in the config file: It launches the default plus whatever you defined in your mosquitto.conf… causing a conflict and you get:
Error: Address already in use
Some people say that this can be fixed if you upgrade Jessie to Stretch which will update libwebsockets.so
There is no root-cause identified yet and no definite solution…

quick question:
I am using below source to download mosquitto. Do you have any other recommendation?
wget https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
sudo apt-key add mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
sudo wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-stretch.list
sudo -i
sudo apt-get install mosquitto
sudo apt-get install mosquitto-clients
sudo apt-get update
Use the raspberry pi source
You don’t need:
wget https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
sudo apt-key add mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
sudo wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-stretch.list
If you did that before you need to remove the repo from the repo list.
Sorry I got ahead of myself
The raspberry pi repository has mosquitto in it
Use that one as it is GUARANTEED to work with your pi
Who told you to install another repository for your rasperry pi is a twit.
Just do:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install mosquitto

BTW, MQTT.fx is successfully publishing and receiving messages from broker… Which essentially means mosquitto is working file.
here is output from OH console
openhab> config:property-list
broker.clientId = openhab2
broker.pwd = HomeHub
broker.url = tcp://192.XXX.X.XX:1883
broker.user = username
service.pid = org.openhab.mqtt
Mqtt.cfg please
/etc/openhab2/services/mqtt.cfg
pid:org.openhab.mqtt
broker.url=tcp://192.XX.X.XX:1883
broker.clientId=openhab2
broker.user=username
broker.pwd=HomeHub
I also encountered one strange thing while running mosquitto command from Pi. it is trying to close old connection and opening a new one. plz ref below…
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mosquitto
1527890040: New connection from 192.XXX.X.XX on port 1883.
1527890040: Client openhab2 already connected, closing old connection.
1527890040: Socket error on client openhab2, disconnecting.
1527890040: New client connected from 192.XXX.X.XX as openhab2 (c1, k60, u'username').
do you have the MQTT Action (not binding) addon installed? (if yes: uninstall it and restart OH2)
also, change the IP of the broker in /etc/openhab2/services/mqtt.cfg
pid:org.openhab.mqtt
broker.url=tcp://127.0.0.1:1883
broker.clientId=openhab2
broker.user=username
broker.pwd=xxxxxx
From what I understand, the Mosquitto Broker is running on the same host as OH2… correct?
What settings do you use in MQTT.fx
In openhab mqqt.cfg do this:
broker.url=tcp://127.0.0.1:1883
broker.clientId=openhab2
broker.user= SAME AS MQTT.fx
broker.pwd= SAME AS MQTT.fx
NO , I don;t have any other binding except mqtt
from addons.cfg file.
binding = mqtt1
changed mqtt.cfg
pid:org.openhab.mqtt
broker.url=tcp://127.0.0.1:1883
broker.clientId=openhab2
broker.user=username
broker.pwd=xxxxxx
yes, MQTT broker is running on the same host as OH2…
Here is the log file after making the above changes…

What clientId are you using in MQTT.fx?
I bet 10 EUR he is using the same (openhab2) 
(or in another device)
@rajeev2301: clientId needs to be unique for every client. Change it from openhab2 to something else in /etc/openhab2/services/mqtt.cfg
By the way: The MQTT Action is not a binding. Check in PaperUI-> Add-Ons → Actions if it is installed
