Can't make fail2ban start

When I edit the jail.conf file with nano it won't
start.

I added some ip addresses for it to ignore.

I tried to start fail2ban and it won't start.

The errors are:
[trixbox1.localdomain fail2ban]# /etc/init.d/fail2ban restart

Please note, I AM mentally handicapped, I have autism
and I don't think like the rest of people do, so if your
responce does not make sense, I will ask for further help
onderstanding what you are saying..

If you say something "mean", I WILL have a reaction to it,
I will curse if you curse, I will snap back if you snap
at me, I will come back with a smart aleck attitude if
you have one at me, This is how I react, if you don't liek it,
then please act how you want me to act toward you, Ok?

Good.

I am asking politely how to do thisw, if this isn't
the place to do it, please tell me in the way YOU
want me to respond back to you, If you tell me
in a mean way, I will respond the same way back
to you, if you tell me in a kind polite way, I will
react the same way with you.

If you can tell me a useful place to post
this kind of question and I will go post it there.

Thank you to those that give me actual help.
