While trying to configure parity using the toml file (Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language), I stumbled on this error -

$ parity --config /data/parity/node.toml

Upon close inspection, the problem was with the IDE.
I used Sublime Text to edit and save the .toml file
Despite adding "string-name" in order to indicate a string, somehow when I verified by reopening the file using vim node.toml I could see 95 instead of " which indicates that it didn't catch the "" properly. So I edited the file in vim editor and it resolved my issue.
