After auto update Fatal Console Error: config.xml file empty

I ran the auto upate last night which seemed to of worked fine as I used drone after the fact. This morning (after rebooting) I noticed I’m now getting a fatal error:
.Core.Configuration.InvalidConfigFileException:
/Users/damien/.config/NzbDrone/config.xml is invalid

Opened the config file which is now empty. I have a backup file saved so I re-downloaded the latest version and reinstalled hoping to get into the interface and use the backup app data. To no avail. Still the same issue even after a new install.

I’d appreciate any help as I’m stumped as to where to go to from here. FYI- I’m on OS X 10.94.
Thanks a lot.

If you delete the file entirely it will be rebuilt on first start (but will fail if its corrupt). You will need to setup your port/username/password again (which is why we don’t rebuild it automatically if its corrupt).

If you could send me the config.xml as-is I’d like to take a look and see if there is anything there (could be a character that appears to not be there).

Thanks for the prompt response. I’ll do that as well as follow up with the config file.
Thanks again,
Damien
