Followed the tutorial here: https://bironthemes.com/blog/ghost-mailgun-config/

Make sure to restart Ghost systemd service after your config changes (in the web admin)…

reneetanpms · June 28, 2022, 2:10pm

I did, that’s what prompted the error

I tried doing it again, keeps showing the same error as here hastebin

On peut voir ton bloc json à la ligne 645 ?

This is all I have in my JSON file, only 44 lines.

try with a comma (ligne 7), and share the full config (without the private info) as you need { and } at the beginning and at the end of your JSON config

 "level": "info",
        "rotation": {
            "enabled": true
        },
        "transports": ["file", "stdout"]
    }

Edit: you can check your JSON file with a JSON parser like http://json.parser.online.fr/ . It will highlight the formatting errors.

As @ericg mentioned, you should check the validity of your JSON, there seems to be syntax errors.

reneetanpms · June 29, 2022, 3:16pm

No errors when using http://json.parser.online.fr/

ericg · June 29, 2022, 5:29pm

look for “ and replace it by " instead

reneetanpms · June 29, 2022, 11:12pm

Worked, tysm
