Can you paste your /etc/crowdsec/config.yaml so we can know more about your config.
Because the error seems to indicate that the payload isn’t json or plaintext.
Sorry, I deleted my last message because I realised i got it from the server, not the client where the crowdsec process won’t start. Anyway, I’ve posted the correct one below.

it seems like when I put the IP address in there, it stops it from starting. I removed the username and password from the file, and it still won’t start. But I change it back to 10.0.0.1:3000 and it starts fine. But again, I can’t enroll it in the dashboard because it changes the url line in that file.
Hi, yes as explained in your Discord thread (I think you’re the same user that asked the same question in Discord), It’s impossible to connect to the dashboard by modifying this file. This file is only for the agent to connect to the local API. Depend, on which dashboard you want to set up.
The online dashboard app.crowdsec.net ? or the local one using Metabase?
The online dashboard can be setup by creating an account at app.crowdsec.net and then enrolling your crowdsec instance. cscli enroll <YOUR_ENROLL_KEY> , the enroll key can be fetched from the console.
The local dashboard (metabase), can be setup using cscli: cscli dashboard setup --listen <ADDR> -p <PORT> --password <password>
