You removed the '#' from line 2 (check the default config - https://github.com/moloch--/RootTheBox/blob/master/rootthebox.cfg#L2 ), you need to re-add it so that the line is a comment and not treated as a configuration setting; not a bug in the code, but I could certainly add better error handling around this case.
