[0.14.7]2012 server-settings unspecified file expected value

Post by 3LollipopZ »

Hey smart people, this is giving me bum aids

I thought I was a smart enough person, but no, no I'm not...

I know it's something to do with my server settings json file, as though it can't read the file. I have tried a myriad of directory combinations, file names, placed the file in all sorts of areas, changed security settings on the file and directories to allow everyone :) Does the error just mean it can't read the file or find the file to read? or could it mean dodgy code I've put in the json file?

Windows 2012 R2. Help me ssilk, you're my only hope!

I love you all :) I must have had a dodgy json file.
I copied and pasted line by line into a new file and bingo! she works.

Probably the text editor I was using (wordpad) in 2012. Should have used Notepad.
