You said that you get “an error”. That means that you did something wrong. My best guess is a YML formatting error, but without knowing what the error was, there is really no way to know.

Sorry, “please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one.  
./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem.”
