same error, version: 0.52.0

[ShiinaRinne]

https://github.com/fatedier/frp/commit/307d1bfa3f2aff6d6ee1e43b0e0caeee115da443

It has been fixed but has not been updated to the release yet. Currently, you can modify the config file in frps.toml like this commit

[0x1af2aec8f957]

这个问题仍然存在

[plmcoder]

same error on version 0.52.3

env win10

[ShiinaRinne]

The latest version should be fine, even the default configuration has been almost completely removed in this commit https://github.com/fatedier/frp/commit/a6478aeac819e9bac5bf719f0c5259a5b6262c3e and moved to another full_example.toml If there are still issues, please send the configuration file @plmcoder @0x1af2aec8f957

[plmcoder]

my config as follows and still not work, may be we should add an option --config-format to specify config file format, and then tell us the detail error for the config file while verify like this: frps.exe verify -c frps.toml --config-format toml

bindPort = 8888
auth.method = "token"
auth.token = "................xxx"

log.to = "D:/apps/frps/logs/frps.log"
log.level = "info"
log.maxDays = 30

custom404Page = "D:/apps/nginx/html/40x.html"

Your configuration has been tested and is also working correctly, can you take a screenshot? Or remove any sensitive information, and send the entire FRP folder directly

[0x1af2aec8f957]

@ShiinaRinne My local configuration does not have this issue on version 0.52.3.

[jy02326387]

同样出现问题，windows 2018 v0.52.3

[lekai63]

toml不行，手动转换为json后。 用 frpc.exe -c frpc.json 可行

[GiserLGQ]

一样，版本0.52.3，win10

[xwzbupt]

same error. My env is docker, the version is 0.52.0, and then I upgrated it to 0.52.3. Both of them didn't work. I wonder how to handle it.

[RyougiShiki-214]

同样错误。环境是Ubuntu22.04LTS，只能手动改成json使用

[winfordguo]

value的值如果是字符串用""包起来试试看。 比如：

错误的

bindAddr = 0.0.0.0
bindPort = 7000
auth.method = token
auth.token = xxx

正确的

bindAddr = "0.0.0.0"
bindPort = 7000
auth.method = "token"
auth.token = "xxx"

果然是这个问题，非常感谢！

[HivenZhu]

Met the same error. Solved it with check the configuration file step by stop and correct the wrong item, then it worked.

[aklivecai]

Toml在线编辑(校验)器， 字段重复也会报错，可以在线校验以下

[xuanyuan100]

原因应该在于字符串需要加上双引号
