Missing semicolon before close brace

[Tue Mar 21 23:21:04 2006] - config error: unrealircd.conf:295: Missing semicolon before close brace
[Tue Mar 21 23:21:04 2006] - config error: Could not load config file unrealircd.conf
[Tue Mar 21 23:21:04 2006] - config error: IRCd configuration failed to load

That's the error I'm getting. The stupid thing is that line 295 doesn't exsist. The last line in the file is 271

Anyone know anything that cause this error? I check for missing semicolons but didn't find any. Tell me if you want me to paste the source

Well, if you're sure you've checked all, it's best to indeed post your config.. But please do it om something like http://www.pastebin.com and just post the link here.

No idea how it can give an error on line 295, if you say 271 is the last one..

If you are pasting in pastebin, make sure also to remove any passwords and what not from your conf : )

Factor in I believe it counts lines from the included files also, most you should do Kevthedude is recheck your configuration files and make sure all the lines which should have a semicolon (the ; character) has one.

are you counting all lines including /*BLAH*/'s? be sure to clean your config of extra bs before you pastebin, also make sure to use ONE editor and not multiple, tends to cause problems

So, tell us... did you modify your help.conf?

Maybe the error is in there...

Unreal tells you what file the error occured in. His did not occur in an include.

log "ircd.log" {

Not sure if you can use the quotes there.. Can't find anything else that might be causing the error though.

Oh, didn't know that... (because I never make any mistakes *lol*)... no, good to know

But the problem remains... how can an error be on line 295 if there are only 235 lines?

kevthedude: are you really editing the correct file?

No help is needed anymore. I just cleared of my server and when I uploaded that config it worked fine. Weird...

Ok.

Thats why we use unrealircd.conf, not unrealircd.conf.txt or unrealircd.conf.conf

Windows hidden file extensions: So much fun.
