Real "ERROR while reading namelist domains"

Hi,

I am trying to run real for WRF 3.9.1.1 and WPS 3.9.1. Metgrid completed successfully using ERA5 data.

The issue is indicated to be in the domains section of the namelist which is pasted below but I can not figure out what it is after trying many changes. Can anyone see the problem?

&domains
time_step = 150,
time_step_fract_num = 0,
time_step_fract_den = 1,
max_dom = 1,
e_we = 291,
e_sn = 210,
e_vert = 40,
ptop_requested = 5000,
num_metgrid_levels = 38,
num_metgrid_soil_levels = 4,
dx = 27000,
dy = 27000,
grid_id = 1,
parent_id = 0,
i_parent_start = 1,
j_parent_start = 1,
parent_grid_ratio = 1,
feedback = 0,
smooth_option = 0
/

he relevent namelist.wps is :

&share
wrf_core = 'ARW',
max_dom = 1,
start_date = '2017-08-17_06:00:00', '2017-08-17_06:00:00', '2017-08-17_06:00:00'
end_date = '2017-09-01_00:00:00', '2017-08-17_06:00:00', '2017-08-17_06:00:00'
interval_seconds = 3600,
/

&geogrid
parent_id = 1, 1, 2
parent_grid_ratio = 1, 3, 3
i_parent_start = 1, 47, 46
j_parent_start = 1, 103, 60
e_we = 291, 157, 190
e_sn = 210, 163, 217
geog_data_res = 'default', 'default', 'default'
dx = 27000,
dy = 27000,
map_proj = 'lambert',
ref_lat = 25.756,
ref_lon = -75.288,
truelat1 = 33,
truelat2 = 15,
stand_lon = -75.288,
geog_data_path = '/home/Ben/Build_WRF/GEOG/WPS_GEOG/geog/',
opt_geogrid_tbl_path = './',
/

The error message:

I wanted to report that I got it to work by removing some of the variables from the domains section. Seems something conflicted with the older version of wrf.

&domains
time_step = 150,
max_dom = 1,
e_we = 291,
e_sn = 210,
e_vert = 40,
num_metgrid_levels = 38
dx = 27000,
dy = 27000,
parent_id = 1,
parent_grid_ratio = 1,
i_parent_start = 1,
j_parent_start = 1,
parent_grid_ratio = 1,
