XML Parsing Error at 1:1544. Error 4: not well-formed (invalid token)

Question

I have installed Joomla 1.5.22 on a new hosting account, which doesn't have a domain yet, so it's public URL is http://cp-013.micron21.com/~annimac/

A message saying: XML Parsing Error at 1:1544. Error 4: not well-formed (invalid token). The source code for this message is:

<dl id="system-message">
<dt class="error">Error</dt>
<dd class="error message fade">
    <ul>
        <li>XML Parsing Error at 1:1544. Error 4: not well-formed (invalid token)</li>

    </ul>
</dd>
</dl>

There is nothing in /logs to indicate what the problem is.

I have uploaded the following folders from a freshly unzipped copy of Joomla 1.5.22:

• administrator
• components
• includes
• language\en-GB
• libraries
• modules
• plugins
• templates\ja_purity
• xmlrpc

and the issue remains. I have no custom or additional plugins, modules, or components installed.

If I change templates, the problem remains.

What is the problem?

Answer 1

The problem seems to be in your "Custom Module" go to "Module manager" find your module that should appear in that position and edit&save it, or if that's not possible copy it's content from the old (working) host and paste it into NEW "custom component" in current one.

Answer 2

Your problem is with the templateDetails.xml file in your template. Here is the tutorial how to repair it: http://blog.jdlh.com/en/2009/02/08/joomla_xml_parsing_error/
