Issue running gochan executable: "Error parsing gochan.json: invalid character ']' looking for beginning of valueinvalid ListenIP value: "" " about gochan HOT 6 CLOSED

For the systemd unit, gochan is being started in /, and thus is looking for gochan.json at /gochan.json, /usr/local/etc/gochan/gochcan.json or /etc/gochan/gochan.json. See the source: https://github.com/gochan-org/gochan/blob/master/pkg/config/util.go#L246

You can either add to the systemd unit, under the [Service] section the line WorkingDirectory=/home/gochan/gochan or copy the config to one of the two other paths.

As for the ListenIP, what do you have in your file?

from gochan.

I have my server's IP as the ListenIP. Wasn't sure if I should leave it localhost or make it that.

from gochan.

In most cases, ListenIP can (and possibly should) be left as 127.0.0.1. Set it to that and let us know if that works.

from gochan.

It gives me the exact same "invalid character" error when I have it as 127.0.0.1.

It sounds like there's something else going on in the config file.

Any chance you can share the whole config file? If you upload it here, make sure to remove database passwords, any API keys and the Random Seed.

I figured out the issue. I changed the stylesheets section in the .json files and there was a comma at the end I forgot to remove.
