Not able to enter a container becuase it keeps restarting

I am new to docker and I'm working with a container, which was working fine. I stopped it to test something and now I can't start it again and it keeps restarting because apparently there are 2 configuration files. Is there a method to enter the Container (i. e. docker exec -it <containerID> bash) to fix this problem?

enter image description here

when I start the container:

docker start mosquitto

returns

mosquitto

then

docker exec -it mosquitto bash

returns

Error response from daemon: Container 5cd7191016f772729776779551e08719701700ad0dd135d87633a17351ab9208 is restarting, wait until the container is running

and docker logs

docker logs mosquitto

returns

1668704116: Loading config file /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/mosquitto.conf
1668704116: Error: Duplicate pid_file value in configuration.
1668704116: Error found at /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/mosquitto.conf:7.
1668704116: Error found at /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf:13.

Thanks in advance :)

The short version here is, delete line 7 of the file you have mounted on /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/mosquitto.conf

You can only specific the pid_file once and the default config file has already defined it (on line 13 of the /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf file)
