无法使用scrapyd deploy在centos7中部署portia spider

Question

I have installed portia and scrapyd.

Created new project using Portia web UI - all ok

I can able to see the project folder in slyd/data/project/new_project

Then I have copied the new_folder to some other different path for deployment.

Updated the scrapy.cfg file as follows,

[deploy:local]
url = http://localhost:6800/
project = stack

And opened a terminal form the new_folder directory, entered the following command to get the deployment location,

scrapyd-deploy -l 

got the following error only,

Could you please help me to resolve the issue?

Answer 1

The program you used to edit the file added extra characters to the start of the file (Those characters being \\xef\\xbb\\xbf, the UTF-8 BOM). If you remove these characters it should work.
