Hey guys, I'm running Wheezy on my Rpi 2. I installed mosquitto using this method:

curl -O http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
sudo apt-key add mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
rm mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
sudo curl -O http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-clients python-mosquitto
_________________________________________________________

Then when I run:
sudo /etc/init.d/mosquitto stop

I get this error:
[....] Stopping network daemon:: mosquittostart-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 2824: No such process
. ok

I run the start and restart commands which both work, but when I run the stop command the error comes up everytime.

I removed and reinstalled mosquitto because something was not working, so this time I want to make sure everything goes smooth, but this problem I think needs to be addressed by me and not looked over.

Thanks so much for all the help,

Travis

Edit: When I first ran sudo apt-get update I was getting this error:
E: Type '<?xml' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mosquitto-repo.list

So I removed the everything in the file which was html code and just put:
deb http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian wheezy main

Which is the only contents of mosquitto-wheezy.list

If I were you I'd build Mosquitto 1.4.4 (MQTT v3.1.1 & websockets) from source code.

i realized that mosquitto's websockets aren't even in jessie
i'm so sad

It's an easy and quick build. You need libssl-dev and libwebsockets-dev.

There's also a couple of tweaks in the CMake stuff to set WITH_WEBSOCKETS to yes/on.

Dougie thanks so much like always.

I've never installed mosquitto from source, which I'm assuming means to manually do it by copying over the necessary files onto the Rpi. As opposed to doing it the way I did.

That makes sense and seems more pure.

I'm wondering if you know of a site that lists instructions on how to do this and which files exactly need to get moved where (and probably permissions changed)

Last thing, to start fresh with my source build, Will this command do a full uninstall/remove:
sudo apt-get remove mosquitto

or should I be doing something more than that to start fresh?

Thanks so much Dougie!

cd /tmp
wget http://mosquitto.org/files/source/mosquitto-1.4.4.tar.gz
tar xavf mosquitto-1.4.4.tar.gz
cd mosquitto*

The Makefile does everything.

make
sudo make install

It all ended up in /usr/local/ (because I left things alone apart from the websockets stuff).

I left the old mosquitto installed. I just moved the old executable out of the way
sudo mv /usr/sbin/mosquitto /usr/sbin/mosquitto.dpkg
and made a symbolic link to the new version
sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mosquitto /usr/sbin/mosquitto

Dougie, thanks so much for your help.

I am getting this output when I run the "make" command.

I like your method of installation and I learned alot about how file linking 'ln' works after doing some research, really trying to get a grasp on this, and thanks so much again.

The openssl/ssl.h header is in the libssl-dev package. Try installing that.
and then run make again.
