Zigbee2MQTT strange behaviour

Hello
I use a Rapberry pi3 and my version is
Core2024.3.0 Supervisor2024.02.1 Operating System12.0 Interface utilisateur20240306.0
Z2M configuration
If I use server: mqtt;//core-mosquitto (with or without port number)
Z2M cannot find the broker (…ENOFOUND… message)
If I use
server: mqtt;//localhost The broker rejects the connexion
but
base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
server: mqtt://my_IPV4 Works
user: mqtt
password: mqtt
Is there something I should know ?
thanks

is the semi-colon in your text a typo or is it in the config?

Sorry I wrote it too fast it, these are colons

Alright, so the issue is that it works when you point at the mqtt brokers ip, but not if you use mqtt://localhost?

It’s very difficult to help you when you do not provide more details, logs, configuration and so on.

could that help ?

Did you use the correct user and password ?

127.0.0.1 looks like a Node Red ip.
Have you tried mqtt://homeassistant.local:1883 ?

The configuration:

Did you create a user ‘mqtt’ with password ‘mqtt’ in HA ?

YES IT WORKS THANKS
I understand it has to be the address seen from the network outside the machine even though the broker and Z2M are into the same machine.
