Simple MQTT message not publishing

Hello there, I am having problems publishing a message to the server I set up on emqx. Here are the changes I made to the kconfig file (I have not changed the main.c code).

After making these changes, this it what appears on my AT terminal

Which leads me to believe it is connecting to the server and subscribing, but then I get this when I press button 1 to publish a message.

and I get this in the mqttx application to view the traffic. ("oof" is not here)

I am trying to figure out why the message is not publishing on here, any help would be appreciated.

  • I tried changing the kconfig file as seen below...

    but I am still not receiving any messages on the server, the resending of the message however, has stopped.

  • Looks like there is an issue with your broker settings. I've tested using test.mosquitt.org without issues:

    Here I have subscribed to /testTopic as your original post. We can see that I receive both messages posted to this topic from my nRF9160DK and my computer

    Can you please retry with the same broker? Also, please use the prj.conf to configure your project and leave Kconfig untouched. Here is my prj.conf

  • Thank you, I have made changes in the prj.conf according to what you sent as seen below, but I also kept my broker since it is already configured to my mobile application.

    This solved my initial issue and now I can connect to the server, I also commented out these lines below so that it would stop echoing messages to my second issue

     .
