Thank you Nick. I setup default values for this section, as i read on net, but it seems it is not working like that.
After i changed the value of "contryName" variable as you pointed (instead of depending on default value variable for supplying default value), it is NOT giving that error now. But now, it is giving following error: and i checked the documentation, and the variable seems to be a valid variable. I do not know why it is giving error? I am running the same command... is my config for this section ok?
