Error with config files.

[wbetson]

I am upgrading from Core to XI. Everything looks as it should but I am having 2 issues. I am trying to convince my company to move to XI but I need to have a POC for them to look at first and I'm stopped here.

Error: Could not add object property in file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacttemplates.cfg' on line 17.

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

The only remaining error is the contactgroups issue.

Appears it is from a duplicate definition, but I have no idea where it's getting that from.

Hello, @wbetson. Have you looked inside the /usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg file on line 17? Can you send me the contacts file in a personal message so that I could examine it?
