[Spread-users] Re: Parser error on valid (?) config file

[Jonathan Stanton]

Two problems with that config file:

1) The word DEBUG was overloaded in the parser, so 
the debug flag for the EventPriority field is NOT DEBUG (as you might 
expect) but rather pDEBUG (which is specified in the comments in the 
sample spread.conf field, but I agree it's non-obvious)
2) The EventPriority can only be set to one value, so the parser does 
not expect a {} enclosed list. If you remove the {} characters around 
the pDEBUG value it will work (I just tried it)

I'll fix the sample spread.conf file to remove the brackets.

Cheers,

Jonathan
