Thanks clayop.. your brackets on the other post hinted the answer. Xeroc don't worry your instructions are really good.
Another problem, now when I try to start the witness, I get a decimal parse error for --witness-id "1.6.5155"
parse_error_exception: Parse Error
Can't parse a number with two decimal places
{}
th_a json.cpp:277 number_from_stream
{"str":"1.6.5155"}

rethrow

I have tried to configure the witness-id in the config.ini but I get this warning:

Any thoughts ?
