***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

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.

Did you try opening the "contacts.cfg" file in a text editor and checking line 71 (or around line 71) for any errors, typos, etc.?

Thanks for your reply.

In my contacts.cfg file i couldn't see 71 line, find the output below

See:
http://support.nagios.com/wiki/index.ph ... leshooting

on how to troubleshoot a configuration error. If the Apply Config failed, XI has already rolled back the config to the last known good configuration, so you won't be able to find the error in the config files.
