Subject: RSS Feeds error after move to Wiz
Date Posted: 19 November 2008 at 7:22pm
After moving our site to Wiz Hosting platform RSS Feeds has ceases to function.

The following error occurs.

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://www.supertramp.com.au/forum/RSS_topic_feed.asp
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
^

Was all okay before the move and there has been no edit of the files.

I just looked at the file code and the declaration comes first.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="<% = strPageEncoding %>" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="RSS_xslt_style.asp" version="1.0" ?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:WebWizForums="http://syndication.webwiz.net/rss_namespace/">
 <channel>


Looking at the web page code it is reveresed

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="RSS_xslt_style.asp" version="1.0" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:WebWizForums="http://syndication.webwiz.net/rss_namespace/">
<channel>

You should raise a support ticket for this - it may be something to do with the setup or some simple mistake that can be easily rectified

Thanks.

Thought that I would try here first. Been giving Bruce a hard time with the databases. Wink

The problem has now been fixed for you.

The issue was that you added the following code into the database_connection.asp file:-

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

This then coursed the RSS Feeds to not work, as XML is very strict on page declaration which this extra code broke.

I have removed this extra code for you and instead change the character encoding from UTF-8 to iso-8859-1 in the includes/setup_options_inc.asp file. This has fixed the issue with your RSS Feeds not displaying whilst still allowing the content in your forum to use the  iso-8859-1 page encoding.

I recently changed my editor to Ultra Edit. It adds the charset meta in automatically if it's not there. Bugger will have to see how to turn that off.

Funny was never an issue on my old platform, which goes to show that their servers aren't doing the job right.

Thanks Bruce.

I use UltraEditt everyday and have never seen this action. Didn't even know it could do this, but probably best of disabling it as often you don't want extra meta tags placed in as they can course all sorts of issues with browsers incorrectly rendering both XML and HTML pages.

I was using CuteHTML Pro. Which I liked but there are a few bugs in it and they have stopped development on the program. Still on the learning curve with UE.

There was also a problem with the RTE not loading. That was caused by the same code injection. Any way thanks Bruce everything is going great. Site is V fast which is what we were seeking and we have happy forumites.

Now I've got a HDD failing. Unhappy Never rains but it poors.

Cute HTML Pro doesn't recognize Cute FTP :(

when I tried to start Cute FTp from the tools menu in Cute HTML Pro, that option wasn't there! Like there's no direct option to START CUTE FTP rather I find a Get Cute FTp option out there. I guess it's a known issue. I found the following directions on internet. This might help you while in the configuration of Cute FTP to use Cute HTML later.
 
  1. Start CuteFTP.
  2. In Tools, go to Global Options.
  3. Go to Helper Applications, after that clear the Use the integrated HTML editor to edit files check box.
  4. Go to browse button to the right of the File editor box and browse to the CuteHTML Pro program file and then Open it.
  5. OK to close Global Options.

when you're done with the configuration using this method; whenever you wish to edit remote files, Cute FTp will by default monitor the temporary files being edited and will also automatically start Cute HTMl Pro.

Hope this helps :)
