<p>Not sure about the eclair implementation, but in LND when running the node it looks for lnd.conf which is stored in ~/.lnd by default. </p>

<p>This is my configuration file and i followed all of the instructions for the program but it always gives me the error message about something missing. I don't even know what programming language .conf files are written in. if someone can give me some guidance that would be much appreciated. </p>

<p><code>
eclair.chain=mainnet
eclair.bitcoind.rpcport=8332
eclair.bitcoind.rpcuser=foo
eclair.bitcoind.rpcpassword=bar
eclair.server.port=9735
eclair.node-alias=&lt;myalias&gt;
eclair.node-color=00ff00
eclair.bitcoind.zmq="tcp://127.0.0.1:29000"
