Error: Serialization Scheme Not Supported - corda

Question

When I run my Spring Boot webserver inside my GCP VM using this command:
java -jar corda-webserver.jar --server.port=10055 --config.rpc.host=localhost --config.rpc.port=10003 --config.rpc.username=cordazoneservice --config.rpc.password=SOME_PASSWORD
I get this error:

Below is the Corda version that I use in my project:
corda_release_group = 'net.corda'
corda_release_version = '4.1'
tokens_release_group = 'com.r3.corda.lib.tokens'
tokens_release_version = '1.0-RC03'
corda_gradle_plugins_version = '4.0.42'
junit_version = '4.12'
quasar_version = '0.7.10'
spring_boot_version = '2.0.2.RELEASE'
spring_boot_gradle_plugin_version = '2.0.2.RELEASE'
slf4j_version = '1.7.25'
log4j_version = '2.11.2'
corda_platform_version = '4'
My Corda node on GCP VM that I built using the script from Corda TestNet:
[INFO ] 2019-08-14T03:21:28,879Z [main] internal.Node.logStartupInfo - Vendor: Corda Open Source {}
[INFO ] 2019-08-14T03:21:28,879Z [main] internal.Node.logStartupInfo - Release: 3.3-corda {}
[INFO ] 2019-08-14T03:21:28,881Z [main] internal.Node.logStartupInfo - Platform Version: 3 {}
Btw, I don't get errors when I run that command on my local Ubuntu VM; I start the node, then the webserver and I can access it inside my browser. This error only happens when I try the same inside my GCP VM using the node that is supplied by Corda TestNet.

I upgraded my node from OS 3.3 to OS 4.1 and that solved the issue.
Make sure you update node.conf file inside your node folder to follow the new formatting (e.g. no double quotes around keys).
