With all that in mind, I think it's your URLs that are causing the error with the colon:
-define=CONFIG::PAYMENTSERVER_URL,https://payment.redacted.com:8081 They should probably be something like this: -define=CONFIG::PAYMENTSERVER_URL,"\"https://payment.redacted.com:8081\""; Basically, anything that isn't a boolean or a number probably needs to be quoted like this. - Josh On Mon, Nov 21, 2016 at 3:54 PM, Josh Tynjala <joshtynj...@gmail.com> wrote: > Actually, I was mistaken.
