OH2 Connecting to Mosquitto issues

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime
1

Hi,
I’m try to get OH2 and Mosquitto to talk to each other but OH2 is having connection issues in the log file.
Starting MQTT broker cconnection '<>'
Error starting broker connectio .
Using Mosquitto and Mosquitto_sub, I can see the messages from my hardware (espeasy) so I know Mosquitto.exe is working.
In the OH2 mqtt.cfg file, I have the address set to url=tcp://localhost:1883.
Does the broker need an ID for OH2 to connect to.?
If so, how do I get this in Mosquitto?

Everything is running on the same Win7 machine.

Looks like you’re missing the broker id/name before the URL parameter in the config file. Example
win7.url=tcp://localhost:1883

Then in the .items files you’d refer to it by something like:
Number myItemName "My Item Description [%d] minutes" {mqtt="<[win7:topic1/topcic2/topic3:state:default]"}
