MQTT setup issues

[Nick]

Hi,

I have been using WeeWx for several years to upload my data to Wunderground.  I am trying to configure MQTT so that I can pull the information directly into my Home Automation system.  When I try to configure using these (https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/mqtt) instructions, it does not work and I get the following in the log:

Feb 18 09:22:56 raspberrypi weewx[352]: engine: Caught unrecoverable exception in engine:

Feb 18 09:22:56 raspberrypi weewx[352]:     ****  __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'enable'

I am using a Pi Zero W running raspbian buster lite and python version 2.7.16.  WeeWx was installed using these (http://weewx.com/docs/debian.htm) instructions.  Station hardware is an an Acu-Rite 02032C hooked up via USB.

Configuration info I have is:

    [[MQTT]]

        enable = true

        server_url = mqtt://mqtt:mqttpa...@192.168.3.9:1883/

        topic = weather

        unit_system = US

and 

[Engine]

    [[Services]]

        # This section specifies the services that should be run. They are

        # grouped by type, and the order of services within each group

        # determines the order in which the services will be run.

        prep_services = weewx.engine.StdTimeSynch

        data_services = ,

        process_services = weewx.engine.StdConvert, weewx.engine.StdCalibrate, weewx.engine.StdQC, weewx.wxservices.StdWXCalculate

        archive_services = weewx.engine.StdArchive

        restful_services = weewx.restx.StdStationRegistry, weewx.restx.StdWunderground, weewx.restx.StdPWSweather, weewx.restx.StdCWOP, weewx.restx.StdWOW, weewx.restx.StdAWEKAS, user.mqtt.MQTT

        report_services = weewx.engine.StdPrint, weewx.engine.StdReport

Thanks in advance for the time and assistance.

We need more information, like Python version, weewx version, etc. But it appears to be complaining about enable = true. I don't have that in my config setup. 

    [[MQTT]]
        server_url = mqtt://user:pass@mqtt:8883/

        topic = weather
        unit_system =

US
        binding = archive, loop
        aggregation = aggregate
        [[[tls]]]
            tls_version = tlsv1
            ca_certs = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
