Have to revert this change in order to use the tool.py on arsnova.thm.de. With this change in, i'll get the following: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "tool.py", line 63, in <module> (db, conn) = couchconnection.arsnova_connection("/etc/arsnova/arsnova.properties") File "/root/arsnova-setuptool/couchconnection.py", line 60, in arsnova_connection config = configreader.ConfigReader(propertypath) File "/root/arsnova-setuptool/configreader.py", line 7, in __init__ self.readProperties(propertiesFile) File "/root/arsnova-setuptool/configreader.py", line 20, in readProperties config.readfp(io.BytesIO("[arsnova]\n" + properties)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 324, in readfp self._read(fp, filename) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 546, in _read raise e ConfigParser.ParsingError: File contains parsing errors: <???> [line 2]: 'q################################################################################\n' ```

It looks to me like it is just a coincidence that reverting this change fixes the problem. The real problem here is that the config file is invalid: `[line 2]: 'q################################################################################\n'`

well... I could have figured that out. Interesting tho as to why the revert fixed it. Anyway, thank you and sorry

No problem. Without the commit, the parser would read `[arsnova]q###...` and just ignore anything behind the closing brace. So the problem would also occur after a revert if you add an empty line to the beginning of the config file yourself.
