rsyslog error 2207

(Fatal) error parsing config file.

Something is syntactically wrong with the mentioned config file, so that further interpretation is impossible. The error most often actually is on the quoted line, or at least very close in front of it. A syntax error can be caused by invalid spelling of RainerScript commands, e.g. “stopp” instead of the correct “stop”.

Sample Data:
rsyslogd: version 7.1.11, config validation run (level 3), master config /etc/rsyslog.conf
rsyslogd: error during parsing file /etc/rsyslog.conf, on or before line 51: syntax error [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2207 ]
rsyslogd: CONFIG ERROR: could not interpret master config file ‘/etc/rsyslog.conf’. [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2207 ]
rsyslogd: run failed with error -2207 (see rsyslog.h or try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2207 to learn what that number means)
