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
