I have installed mosquito broker on my Ubuntu machine and now have an error, I thought the install had gone well.I have attached a screenshot and wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction, sorry to be vague.
Thank you

Hello fogmajor,
Great to have you. There can be multiple reasons for this.

hi, installed with the apt-get install method.
Can't autostart so I ran `sudo s… ystemctl start mosquitto.service` and then `sudo systemctl status mosquitto.service` and this is the output:
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/mosquitto.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2020-02-18 18:54:47 WET; 4s ago
Docs: man:mosquitto.conf(5)
man:mosquitto(8)

so i executed `/usr/sbin/mosquitto -c /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf` and it outputed:
1582051833: mosquitto version 1.5.7 starting
1582051833: Config loaded from /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf.
1582051833: Error: Unable to open pwfile "/etc/mosquitto/passwd ".
1582051833: Error opening password file "/etc/mosquitto/passwd ".
it seems to be a permissions problem, tried some things but can't get it to work. Can anybody help pls?
Does this help?
