![Gordian Screen Shot 2020-10-31 at 2 15 44 PM](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/69103/97790245-36906d80-1b84-11eb-886d-077c25fbc547.png)

Installed Gordian Server v0.1.4 tagged .dmg over an old Standup.app on my mainnet Mac mini. Got this error. Note that my configuration I had my bitcoin directory in a non-standard place as set by Standup.app (it should be at `~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin` but mine is at `/Volumes/Media/Bitcoin`/

You can't quit Gordian Server v0.1.4 from menu bar if you see get this error. The OK button isn't OK, it should be Quit so you can go back to edit bitcoin.conf.

Other notes:
* this dialogue should say which bitcoin.conf it thinks is the problem. It should name the path.
* There should probably be a button to open the folder containing the bitcoin.conf file wherever Gordian Server thinks the bitcoin.conf (normally `~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin` but remember mine is elsewhere).
* Maybe offer to delete the single bad line.

There are other problems after this that may be significant, but may be addressed by just fixing the above:

* Currently if you go to OK, you can get this same error several times (but not always).
* Eventually you'll go to the "Ready to Standup" dialogue, which you just said in previous error isn't compatible.
* I said No after "Ready to Standup", as I wanted to got to Preferences to see where I'd set bitcoin.conf to be, but Preferences menu is disabled.
