MeshCental 2 Config File Issues

I'm trying to get Let's Encrypt working on my MC server.

here is my entire config file, thoughts appreciated

  "__comment__" : "This is a sample configuration file, edit a section and remove the _ in front of the name. Refer to the user's guide for details.",
  "settings": {
    "Cert": "mc.beyondcompare.com",
    "RedirPort": 80,
    "MaxInvalidLogin": { "time": 10, "count": 10, "coolofftime": 10 },
  },
  "letsencrypt": {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "names": "mc.beyondcompare.com",
    "rsaKeySize": 3072,
    "production": false
  },
}

With this config.json file, mc won't start at all.
I'm going to look at the logs now that I've posted this.

@Dashrender
if you run mc from the command line, what error do you get?

Edit: You may need to comment out the "Cert" line. That is equivalent to telling MC that you are using the following Cert at runtime.

Yeah, I definitely do not have that line with certs working properly.

If you are running normally, hosted somewhere, add..

"WANonly": true,

I recommend WebRTC, it's the difference between being normal, and being insanely fast.

scottalanmiller

Your RedirPort is default, so you could comment it out.

Is that another line - like
"WebRTC": true,
?

OK I looked it up in the manual - yes it is.. I just haven't gotten that far yet, I'm still trying to get LE to work.

Correct, another line.

We moved to it early and really prefer it.

OK weirdness - I followed the instructions to make mcstart and mcstop.. yet mcstop doesn't work... but if I type it in by hand

sudo ./pkill -f node_modules/meshcentral

it does kill it.
here is the ls -l

Thanks.

Here is my current config.json

Here is the directory listing from /opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-data

here is the error in /opt/meshcentral/stdout.txt when I load MC
ERROR: Unable to parse /opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-data/config.json.

@Dashrender Use cat, not tail, to show us the config.
