Remote Website: Bad configuration file 'configuration.jsaon' Check for missing quotes or commas...

[YoderAZ]

I am trying to install the remote website following instructions "Installing an Allsky Website". My local website seems fine, and I updated the Remote Website values in the Allsky Settings page.

I executed the install script:
cd ~/allsky; ./remoteWebsiteInstall.sh
and everything seemed to go fine with the script, however when I go to the remote website (https://allsky-yoder.artcentrics.com/ ) I get the error:

ERROR: Bad configuration file 'configuration.json'.
Cannot continue.
Check for missing quotes or commas at the end of every line except the last one.

I know nothing about how a json file should be formatted. Does anyone have any recommendations on how I might resolve this issue?

Thanks!

When I go to your remote Website I don't get the error. Did you fix the problem in the file?

After you ran remoteWebsiteInstall.sh did you modify remote_configuration.json on the Pi before, or after you went to the website?

The imageName field in the remote_configuration.json file should just be image.jpg. Do you change that field or did remoteWebsiteInstall.sh create it like that?

Hi Eric,

First thanks for taking a look. I did manage to get the error to go away. I think the issues is that on the remote website, rather than having a sub-directory called allsky and dumping the website there, I tried to publish to the parent directory, and as a result removed the allsky directory entry in the Remote Website settings for the Image Directory entry. I added back the allsky entry in the settings there, and created a allsky directory on the remote website and that seems to have resolved that issue.
Currently I have the issue of the current image not showing up. I think this stems from the same issue. So I plan on moving everything to the allsky directory on the remote website and I think that will solve my issue.

Thanks
James

@YoderAZ, I provided the fix for the current image not showing up in my last post.

Well, I am still having that issue (current image not showing). can you direct me to where that post is you referenced?

Thanks
James
