mongodb error parsing yaml config file

I've got a problem with mongodb. After upgrade from 2.6 I had to change config file - here's the new one:

storage:  
    dbPath: "/var/lib/mongodb"  
    engine: wiredTiger  

systemLog:  
    destination: file  
    path: "/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log"  
    logAppend: true  

net:  
    bindIp: 127.0.0.1,192.168.14.81
    port: 27017  
    # Enable the HTTP interface (Defaults to port 28017).  
    http:  
        enabled: false

But startup script crashes - here's the output:

Error parsing YAML config file: yaml-cpp: error at line 5, column 5: end of map not found
try '/usr/bin/mongod --help' for more information

I'm using only white symbols (spaces - not tabs). Can anyone explain to me what's wrong with that conf?

Firstly try to validate your YAML file whether It is valid or not using any tool or online website for eg. http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/ and try to resolve the issues because I already faced the same Issue.

In my case problem was in Tab character. I checked it during validation process of YAML file Then I replaced the Tab character with the space character and replaced the single slashes() with double(\) then everything worked fine.

My config file as:

systemLog:
 destination: file
 path: "c:\\data\\log"
storage:
 dbPath: "c:\\data\\db"
