You may have to use the CCM (Core Config Manager) to hunt down the config issue. Go to --> Configure --> Core Config Manager --> Tools --> Write Config Files. Click write and then verify. Post the output here in code wraps.

It seems like the "xi_timeperiod_24x7" is defined twice - once in the database, and once - in the static. I would recommend commenting out (or deleting) the "xi_timeperiod_24x7" definition in "/usr/local/nagios/etc/static/xiobjects.cfg". Save and exit, then run the Write Config Tool again to check for config errors. If there are no errors, Apply Configuration.
Hope this helps.

OK, now you are missing the xi_timeperiod_24x7 entirely and the xi_default_contact. What exactly did you change?
Nagios-Plugins maintainer exclusively, unless you have other C language bugs with open-source nagios projects, then I am happy to help! Please pm or use other communication to alert me to issues as I no longer track the forum.
This happens when you try to edit two things related to each other without applying configuration first...
when this happens within services/hosts i delete those files from disk and re-apply configuration from within nagiosxi, this recreates all config files.
I do not know if this happens for xiobjects.cfg as well, looking at the timestamp it doesn't

backup your file: /usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg like
cp /usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg ~/tmp/.
then remove this file
rm /usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg
After i try to apply configuration (which won't work), it generates a duplicate nagios.cfg (.swp), timeperiods.cfg (swp) and commands.cfg (swp) in the /usr/local/nagios/etc folder.
