#### Problems with the configuration
One of the most common problems with Home Assistant is an invalid `configuration.yaml` file.
One of the most common problems with Home Assistant is an invalid `configuration.yaml` or other configuration file.
- You can test your configuration using the command line with: `hass --script check_config`.
- On Hass.io you can use the [hassio command](/hassio/commandline/#home-assistant): `hassio homeassistant check`.
- On Docker you can use `docker exec home-assistant python -m homeassistant --script check_config --config /config` - where `homeassistant` is the name of the container.
- The configuration files, including `configuration.yaml` must be UTF-8 encoded. If you see error like `'utf-8' codec can't decode byte`, edit the offending configuration and re-save it as UTF-8.
- You can verify your configuration's yaml structure using [this online YAML parser](http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/) or [YAML Lint](http://www.yamllint.com/).
- To learn more about the quirks of YAML, read [YAML IDIOSYNCRASIES](https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/troubleshooting/yaml_idiosyncrasies.html) by SaltStack (the examples there are specific to SaltStack, but do explain YAML issues well).
