No. Otherwise it would work.

Let's have a lengthy discussion, trying unsuccessfully to pry details about
your configuration from you, so we can figure out where your typo is, so you
can figure out that the configuration files are somehow connected to the
matter. Then you'll google up something, break your system somehow, and
summarize that you've fixed it. Sounds like a good thing to spend my time on.
