MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers

[Armand]

Dear community,

Greetings from Cameroon. I am getting the following error on the Tryton client:

MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers

Tryton client 4.2.9
OS: Windows 7

I installed the client and it started without problem until this morning.

Your assistance will be as usual greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Armand

I looks like the configuration file is corrupted:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/configparser.html#ConfigParser.MissingSectionHeaderError
Could you check them:

- tryton.conf
- profiles.cfg

http://doc.tryton.org/4.6/tryton/doc/usage.html#configuration-file

It will be interesting to know what happened and in which states are
those files.

You're right. The files were corrupted

I deleted the user and created a different user.

It works fine now.

Thank you very much for your assistance

 Kind regards,

But what was the corruption?
Is it linked to https://bugs.tryton.org/issue6595 ?

Not quite sure. However it is the tryton.conf file related to the user profile only, not to the whole installation of the client.

Because when I create a new user on the same machine, the issue does not occur anymore.

Here is the link to the error message:
