Problem installing trial version

Hi @RouseA,

Welcome to the HiveMQ Community! We’re thrilled to have you here, especially with your interest in MQTT and the HiveMQ broker. It’s always great to see new users like you getting started.

The error message Failed to bind to /127.0.0.1:8080 indicates that another application is already using port 8080 on your Windows laptop, which is preventing HiveMQ from binding to it. Here’s how you can resolve the issue:

  1. Use netstat to find the application using the port:

    • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
    • Run the following command:
    netstat -ano | findstr :8080

    This will display active connections or listeners on port 8080 along with the Process ID (PID).

  2. Find the corresponding application in Task Manager:

    • Note the PID from the netstat output.
    • Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
    • Go to the Details tab.
    • Look for the PID column and find the matching process.
    • The Name column will show the application using the port.

  3. Terminate the process or change the port:

    • If the application using port 8080 isn’t necessary, you can stop it directly in Task Manager.
    • Alternatively, you can configure HiveMQ or the conflicting application to use a different port.

  4. How to configure HiveMQ to use a different port:
    You can find instructions for changing the HiveMQ Control Center port here:
    Configuring HiveMQ Control Center Ports.

Let me know if you need help adjusting the HiveMQ settings or if you encounter any other issues.

Regarding AT-Commands, while we don’t have a ready-to-use solution for your specific device, you might find helpful insights in this community thread:
