Authentication Error even when new token

[foz111]

Same problem here, this happened a while ago requires owner to fix from memory

[Rich]

@foz111 Yeah, an expired cert, IIRC?

@Rich, I am having the same issue with account linking with Amazon Alexa - was working just fine until sometime this morning.

I checked my gateways logs - everything there seems fine - no api token error.

[pathfinder]

I am also receiving the “Monocle API Authentication Error; invalid or missing token.” error.

[Monocle]

FYI … Working on this issue now and it should be resolved and working again later today!

Thanks, Robert

@Monocle Hi Robert,

Just got “Monocle API Authentication Error; invalid or missing token.” recurring, as of about the last couple of hours.

Thank you for your help with this.

I am having the same error… I changed token but still the same issue.

[deepbluesee]

Same error today i Changed nothing
Solution?

[foz111]

This was fixed but now seems to be broken again as the posts above suggest

[nor1don]

We wait for Developers to fix the issue. I hope they fix it soon. It has been a life saver solution to me.

[Toto]

@Robääääärrrtttt
your help is very welcome again :-)

Thank you in advance

Best
Toto

[Monocle]

Try it again now.

I think I see the underlying issue and will need to put in a more permanent fix but it should be working now.

Thanks, Robert

[deepbluesee]

@Monocle
Yes works again without any problems
Thanks

[SchmuFoo]

@Monocle Indeed after an daemon stop/start it is working again, Thank you very much

[justincheger]

@justincheger

This is a different error.

[RTSP Server Error] listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 0.0.0.0:8555
...
[PROXY SERVER ERROR] Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 0.0.0.0:443

This is telling us that you probably already have an (second) instance of Monocle Gateway running. Probably in the background as a Windows service. Basically ports 443 and 8555 are already being used and the new instance cannot bind to those ports.

Try using this command to stop the background service first:
monocle-gateway.exe --stop

See this page for additional details:

Thanks, Robert

[SchmuFoo]

@Monocle I think this feedback was for @justincheger

[Monocle]

@SchmuFoo

You are correct. I updated the post. Thanks, Robert
