[RESOLVED] Unable to verify config - no line number given for error

[Samuel Kidman]

There were some syntax errors in one of the cfg files. I picked it up by
diffing with a previous known working version. Strange that it didn't
show any line number for the error though.

I have a hunch the problem's in nagios-master-test.cfg.  Do you have a
backup of that file from before the last time you modified it, or have a
known-good "nagios-master.cfg" file you can compare it to? Or the
example bone-stock nagios.cfg?

You're using a newer version of Nagios than I am, too.  A while back I
realized I'd been migrating an ancient nagios.cfg for too long.  My old
file contained deprecated settings and was completely missing new
settings, so that might be something else to check for.
