Please go to Configure > Core Config Manager > Tools > Config File Management:
- Click the Delete Files button (don't worry, it's safe, they will be rewritten)
- Then click the Write Configs button
- Then click the Verify Files button, if it verifies properly, please try to Apply Configuration

That alone may fix it.

If it fails again, go to Configure > Core Config Manager > Services:
- Select bbydd.heu.org from the Config Name dropdown
- Edit each of the services listed there and make sure it has a Service Description set AND that you have a host or hostgroup selected under Manage Hosts or Manage Hostgroups buttons.
- Save and Apply Configuration

If it fails again, please PM me a copy of your profile.zip as well, you can download it from Admin > System Profile by clicking the Download Profile button.

Thank you!
