Missingsectionheadererror: File Contains No Section Headers

I am trying to build collective.simserver according to this manual, with some modifications: instead of: virtualenv --python=bin/python2.7 simserver/ I am using: virtualenv --pytho

Solution 1:

i think im late for answer but it happened for me when i saved Config file as UTF-8 Try saving the file as ANSI.

Solution 2:

For me, I've seen this error because I mistakenly assume the API of .read_file() accepts a file path, but it only accepts a file handle.

Solution 3:

There is no section header in the configuration file.

The configuration file consists of sections, led by a [section] header and followed by name: value entries.

Docs CofigParser python module

Solution 4:

This error, is most likely because the sections in the config file are missing a header (or it is incorrectly specified). See the configparser docs to see the format the configuration files must have.

A configuration file consists of sections, which have to be preceded by a [header], for instance:

[DEFAULT]ServerAliveInterval = 45Compression = yesCompressionLevel = 9ForwardX11 = yes[bitbucket.org]User = hg

[topsecret.server.com]Port = 50022ForwardX11 = no

And each section in the config file will contain key/value pairs separated by a string (= or : by default). The header of each section has to be in the format [header], anything different will yield a configparser.MissingSectionHeaderError.
