MissingSectionHeaderError: File does not contain section headers

I am trying to create a collective .simserver according to this guide:

http://plone.org/products/collective.simserver

with some changes:

 instead of: virtualenv --python=bin/python2.7 simserver/ I am using: virtualenv --python=myVirtualEnv/bin/python simserver

(because it will not work if I follow suit)

and I managed to approach this question:

 myVirtualEnv/bin/python bootstrap.py

and then it breaks into this error information:

  Mint-AMD64 nenad # myVirtualEnv/bin/python bootstrap.py While: Initializing. An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a recipe being used: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/tmpLiHZgo/zc.buildout-1.6.3-py2.6.egg/zc/buildout/buildout.py", line 1851, in main command) File "/tmp/tmpLiHZgo/zc.buildout-1.6.3-py2.6.egg/zc/buildout/buildout.py", line 203, in __init__ data['buildout'].copy(), override, set())) File "/tmp/tmpLiHZgo/zc.buildout-1.6.3-py2.6.egg/zc/buildout/buildout.py", line 1465, in _open parser.readfp(fp) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ConfigParser.py", line 305, in readfp self._read(fp, filename) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ConfigParser.py", line 482, in _read raise MissingSectionHeaderError(fpname, lineno, line) MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers. file: /home/nenad/buildout.cfg, line: 4 '<!DOCTYPE html>\n' Mint-AMD64 nenad #

What could be wrong?

Regards, Nenad

There is no section header in the configuration file.

The configuration file consists of sections, headed by the heading [section] and is followed by a name: values.

I think I'm late in answering, but this happened for me when I saved the Config file as UTF-8 Try saving the file as ANSI .
