I am using Ubuntu 20.04.1 OS with MQTT Broker installed. I followed all the instructions from the ThingsBoard Gateway website to download, install and configure the ThingsBoard Gateway. I used the first method i.e. IoT Gateway installation on Ubuntu (DEB). During this installation, an error occured, here it is.
I need the service running so that I can send the device data to the gateway which will then send it to the ThingsBoard platform.
Every time I check the status it shows its Failed. After restarting the service, it show active for a second, but upon checking again, it shows it has Failed yet again. This is what I see after restarting the service.
The log files at location /var/log/thingsboard-gateway/ are all empty. I cant even find a log file to check what exactly the issue is.
Is this some sort of library problem? Do i need to edit any config file? Do I need to reinstall everything again? I have done it a couple of times but can't get rid of the problem. I am not using multiple controller, I just want the MQTT controller.
These are the config files that I edited.
