WebUI Login not working

[cyanarnofsky]

1:

./btsync --dump-sample-config > sync.conf

Then used Nano to edit, tried "mypwd"}, that just gave me that same error:

Error while parsing config file: Unexpected end of config file (are you missing '}') ?

any ideas? I noticed someone sent previous person a non tabbed version that worked, possible get re up to pastebin?

I used nano through terminal so that shouldn't be the problem....:/

ran it as a .conf and .json neither work with or without the comma.

get this error in a code checker.

Parse error on line 3:
...ening_port": 0, //0-randomizeport/*s
----------------------^
Expecting 'STRING'

Json is a very poor syntax for config files, you've probably missed a comma.

I'd guess you code checker doesn't understand comments.

We need to see the whole file to fix it. You can/should hide the keys.

Nice config file; works perfectly.

[cyanarnofsky]

maybe, never shows login prompt for me just goes right to UI?

[rdebath]

It's on the default port with the default login and default password ... you sure your browser hasn't remembered the password/cookie.

[cyanarnofsky]

Positive, from the very moment I installed it I have not had a login prompt appear.

[rdebath]

Sorry, I meant change one of them (user or password) by one character.
