Problem re-encoding Webcam stream?

[ecations]

I saw in another issue that you recommended the following code for re-encoding a webcam stream;

paths:
  cam:
    runOnInit: ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="Jabra PanaCast" -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/$RTSP_PATH
    runOnInitRestart: yes
    runOnPublish: ffmpeg -i rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/$RTSP_PATH -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -b:v 500k -max_muxing_queue_size 1024 -filter:v fps=fps=20 -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/newfps
    runOnPublishRestart: yes

However this produces the following (repeating) error when I try it:

What could be the problem here?

ERR: unable to find a valid configuration for path 'newfps'

Just add a configuration for the path "newfps", in this way

paths:
  newfps:
  cam:
    runOnInit: ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="Jabra PanaCast" -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/$RTSP_PATH
    runOnInitRestart: yes
    runOnPublish: ffmpeg -i rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/$RTSP_PATH -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -b:v 500k -max_muxing_queue_size 1024 -filter:v fps=fps=20 -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/newfps
    runOnPublishRestart: yes
