You need to compare your XML with a previous working version. Something's been deleted from the XML that is required. Always take a backup before making changes so that if something like this happens you can backtrack.

You'll need to troubleshoot backwards and look at the last edits you made to the XML and figure out what was removed that shouldn't have been from the comp-config section.

Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this one. It could be as simple as a missing tag somewhere on the new publish section that was added if that's all that was added.

If nothing was removed and only the publish section was added - review each open/close tag.
