i have followed the Quick Install instructions with 0 results.
pls help me fix this issue
level=info msg=“backend: connecting to mqtt broker” in the Lora-gateway-bridge
Could you let me know what is wrong with that message? Please not it is not an error. It indicates that the LoRa Gateway Bridge is about to connect with the MQTT broker 
sorry i copied the wrong line, here’s the real error
level=error msg="could not setup mqtt backend,
Hello @Andres_Espinoza ,
could you show us the loraserver log file.
sudo systemctl start loraserver
journalctl -u loraserver
ok, i granted port 1883 permissions using iplist and
here’s the new output of journalctl -u lora-gateway-bridge
but still getting the same bad output from journalctl -u loraserver
The output is truncated, I think having the full line(s) would be helpful to understand the real error.
ok, im getting far, i restarted the loraserver service before capt the screen an now im getting this
for lora-gateway-bridge (this is the other half of the previus picture)
I am very surprised by the lack of loraserver log, could you find the full loraserver log file under /var/log/, here you can also find mosquitto log file.
Could you also try this cmd ==> “sudo systemctl status loraserver” and make a screenshot of the std output.
in /var/log/mosquitto i have 3 logs
mosquitto.log, mosquitto.log.1 and mosquitto.log.1.gz which one will lead us on the right track
ok heres what i got from sudo systemctl status loraserver
and here’s the content of the mosquitto log.
and here arme mi iptables just in case
Looks like the same issue as:
https://forum.loraserver.io/t/connecting-to-mqtt-broker-failed/440
I might remove the MQTT authentication part from the quick install guide. It seems to be one of the most occurring issues that people are having, to set this up correctly (also looking at the stats from my side). As this is not an absolute requirement to get everything up and running, I think removing this and documenting it as an optional step makes more sense.
Please let me know if you agree or disagree with this.
@brocaar to be honest I encoutered a pb when I set local.conf so I think, if you tag/highlight more precisely it will be more clear for everybody
@Andres_Espinoza could you show us your local.conf plz ?
/etc/mosquitto/conf.d/local.conf
i think you should use those error screens, in MQTT authentication part of the install guide and point based in this kind of experience, why are the user getting this err msg (which is pretty common among not so friendly linux users) and how may be fixed or prevent
how can i revert the MQTT auth config?
@Andres_Espinoza last line “loraapserver” is not quite good try with loraappserver double PP
remake sudo mosquitto_passwd /etc/mosquitto/pwd loraappserver
And what are the rights of your pwd file?
i secured it just like the quick install guide suggest using sudo chmod 600 /etc/mosquitto/psw
