Hi I am trying to start mine solo with cpuminer on Ubuntu 16 but cpuminer just throws errors

my config file

Code:

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=18921
rpcuser=USER
rpcpassword=PASSWD
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
mining=1
addnode=185.183.99.171
addnode=185.183.99.1

start miner with

Code:

./cpuminer -a nist5 -o 127.0.0.1:18921 -u SOLARISCOINADDR -p SOLARISCOINADDR

and all I get is error:

Code:

[2017-03-19 17:19:43] 8 miner threads started, using 'nist5' algorithm.
[2017-03-19 17:19:45] JSON decode failed(1): '[' or '{' expected near '<'

I have internet connection, no problem

I assume the correct method is
1. Start Wallet - solariscoin-qt
2. Start Miner - cpuminer-multi

thank you for any help
