Issues with "allow_outside_files"

I'm using API to automate creating tasks.

On my servers I usually have multiple instances of A-parser running on different ports (9091, 9092, 9093, etc)

I've added the "allow_outside_files: 1" line to the config.txt files for each instance and for the most part I'm able to use query files outside the normal folders fine.

But on a couple servers I till still get "Queries file must be in queries or results folder!" error despite having added the "allow_outside_files" line.

Error will only happen on a single instance. All other instances work fine.

Usually this happens on port 9091 but not always

Any ideas?

 

The problem was the config.txt file was not UTF-8 encoded (probably changed it by accident when editing) Once I changed file encoding to UTF-8 everything works as it should.
