ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
ssid=home
proto="?"
key_mgmt="?"
pairwise="?"
group="?"
psk=999999999999999999999999999999999999999
}

Could check the upstream site, under "configuration file": http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/

My error was that I did not create the directoy wpa_supplicant.
To solve this:

Quote
mkdir /var/run/wpa_supplicant

wpa_supplicant.conf:

Quote
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="my_network"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=9caedfa3bec0c8c02420c1f5a15f9fbbafd996b9b61ac59e03a1c7f6a12453f6
}
