Did you actually run them together on one line like that? The normal
thing is one setting per line. It might be that the config file
parser will let you get away with just spaces rather than a newline
between settings, but I'm not terribly surprised if it fails without
any whitespace at all. However, since you showed us neither the exact
config file contents nor the error message you got, this is all just
speculation.

This case however is pretty clear: you need single quotes around the
value '1min', and you didn't provide them.
