Debian Stretch: Mosquitto Unit mosquitto.service is masked

I'm trying to set up mosquitto under RPi - Debian Stretch.

sudo service mosquitto giving me following returncode:

Failed to start mosquitto.service: Unit mosquitto.service is masked.

sudo service mosquitto status:

● mosquitto.service
   Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Can somebody give me a hint how to fix it?

Thank you!

Solution

  • Fix it with 

    sudo systemctl unmask mosquitto service 
sudo service mosquitto stop 
sudo service mosquitto start

    Its running now! – Andreas
