Hi there,

  1. Please use three backticks ( ``` ) to enclose code snippets as this makes it easier to read. I have done this for you for this post.
  2. The error is complaining about params.toml however the comments on your snippet indicate that it is formatted using YAML. Try to rename your file to params.yaml.
  3. If point 2 above does not fix your issue, please try asking wowchemy’s dedicated support for help instead: Wowchemy
