MQTT broker windows [closed]

Asked 31/3, 2015 at 23:55 Answered 28/2, 2017 at 11:49

I've been trying to set up MQTT broker on windows but with not results. I am not very experience in this topic. I've downloaded the mosquitto files from http://mosquitto.org/download/ but I haven't get the server running. I downloaded the binary files for windows and followed the instructions but I can only get the broker run but I can't subscribe. It says "pthreadVC2.dll is missing" and I've tried install it but I do not know how to do it. If you are able to suggest me how to get the broker running I appreciate your help. Thank you

Please see http://git.eclipse.org/c/mosquitto/org.eclipse.mosquitto.git/tree/readme-windows.txt

Dependencies - win32

OpenSSL Link: http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html Install "Win32 OpenSSL " Required DLLs: libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll

pthreads Link: ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32 Install "pthreads-w32--release.zip Required DLLs: pthreadVC2.dll

If this doesn't solve the problem, you may need to install Visual Studio redistributables. The packaged Mosquitto versions are compiled with Visual Studio 2010, which can be found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=8328

Thanks for replying. This is what I've been trying but I can no get to install the pthreadVC2.dll – Pincas 1/4, 2015 at 11:44

You should just need to download the zip, extract, and copy pthreadVC2.dll to the mosquitto_[sp]ub directory. – Retributive 1/4, 2015 at 15:16

Hi. I get the following error those steps. The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) – Intisar 1/7, 2015 at 10:57

I've added some more details to the answer. – Retributive 1/7, 2015 at 11:39

Worked for me, just had to chose the right pthreadVC2.dll to add to mosquitto directory. In my case it was the x86. If I try the x64 I got the same complains as you @Intisar – Reo 21/7, 2016 at 18:37

Died in dependency hell. I get back to linux for my broker using apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto_clients – Ga 27/6, 2017 at 15:18

Check this link: https://sivatechworld.wordpress.com/2015/06/11/step-by-step-installing-and-configuring-mosquitto-with-windows-7/

You have to include these files(libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll and pthreadVC2.dll) in mosquitto folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\mosquitto) and reinstall the mosquitto server. After reinstalling check the services to see if Mosquitto is running as a service. Then use the command netstat -an in command prompt. That will show the active connection and its status.

The above link gives a step by step installation procedure.

While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. - From Review – Englishman 19/5, 2016 at 8:26

@Englishman the essential part is there, right below the link. – Crocidolite 19/5, 2016 at 9:11

Be note to use the correct installer of Win32 OpenSSL (1.0.2k), otherwise it will not work. – Indelicacy 2/3, 2017 at 1:43

There's the open-source and scalable MQTT broker I'm personnally involved with: emitter.io. It's built using .NET Core and LibUV - github.com/emitter-io/emitter.

There's also a nice list of MQTT brokers available here: https://github.com/mqtt/mqtt.github.io/wiki/servers
