HiveMQ systemctl service not listening to port

I am trying to set up HiveMQ on my Amazon EC2 instance (ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-20170414) using this guide: http://www.hivemq.com/docs/hivemq/latest/#hivemqdocs_installation_for_specific_operating_systems

After installing I can succesfully run HiveMQ using:

  1. Change directory to HiveMQ directory cd /opt/hivemq

  2. Execute startup script ./bin/run.sh

HiveMQ will start running, and listening to port 1883 and I can connect and subscribe to the broker.

When I run HiveMQ as a systemctl service:

  1. For Debian-based linux like Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian using systemd systemctl enable hivemq

It starts as a service withoutany issues

However, when running netstat -an|grep 1883 it does not show any activity. HiveMQ do not seem to listen to any ports and I can not connect with my MQTT client. What could be the issue?

without any additional information my guess would be an issue with permissions.

chown -R hivemq:hivemq /opt/hivemq (changing the owner of the hivemq folder to the hivemq user)

will resolve this issue
