Parameter 8 in this example is about the weather parameter because thats active parameter 8. Are you sure you quote the correct example cfg? And if so, are you trying to run an old dedi host where weather settings didnt exist?

#5 - nayr
Newlines
I has this same error for awhile when I was running my host from windows SSH'd into a linux box. It's because windows newlines do not like linux newlines. Just don't ever hit enter or backspace away a line and it works flawlessly

Parameter 8 is invalid
