You didn't let us know what line 2 of the config file says, but I  
suspect its one of the TLS key file names.  There seems to be a bug in  
4.0.12 with the way it parses those file names.  There are 2 temporary  
workarounds if that is the problem:  Add a space after the end of the  
file name, or put the file name in quotes.  Both of those worked for me.
