Linux Setting up v2 dedicated server issue

[moonmonkey]

I'm trying to setup a v2 beta dedicated server. I tried using my existing v1 serverconfig.xml file but am getting this error on startup:

A bit of general reading on support topics suggests that this might be a broken config xml file. Where can I find a standard default serverconfig.xml file for v2 of the dedicated server?

crawl the file line by line and compare it to a default ...
my patch script always copies a backup of my serverconfig.xml to desktop/serverconfig.xml
I had to deep dive mine going into v1..
I only found one line different on the bottom line for v2

It comes with the server when you download it.
It is also included in your game client when you pull down the 2.0 test build.
