Error: method:invite,create is not on whitelist

[missinglink]

heyo, I set up a pub server here http://ssbc.wiz.co.nz which seems to be working fine except I cannot execute the commands sbot invite.create or sbot invite.addMe from the readme, any ideas?

$ ./bin.js invite.create 100
LOCAL_API { auth: 'async' }

/var/www/scuttlebot/bin.js:217
        if(err) throw err

Hey peter, can you dump your ~/.ssb/manifest.json file for me?

[missinglink]

oh hai @pfraze, still alive! when I left at 4:30am I assumed you were going to miss your flight...

it seems to me as an uneducated outsider that the error message invite,create seems to indicate that it's being interpreted as [invite,create] rather than invite.create?

also worth noting I didn't install it globally, instead I'm running the latest master@HEAD of this repo with the latest npm install deets on node 10.38, so maybe that's different from what was published in npm.

Still alive and made the flight :v: party victory

Good thought but that's just the tokenized form leaking through in our error output

also worth noting I didn't install it globally, instead I'm running the latest master@HEAD of this repo with the latest npm install deets on node 10.38, so maybe that's different from what was published in npm.

That should be right, and your manifest looks right. Are you running these commands on your server via ssh?

[dominictarr]

My guess is that it is attempting authorize with keys that do not have master permissions.

Yeah turns out his home directory was being set to something incorrect by his service-maintainer tools, causing the server process to use a different .ssb than the command was.
