Hi Neo,
I was wondering if you guys had more than one fix to your \xml returned invalid from server\ fix in the tutorial vid. Suddenly, the demo versions that I tried to upload as subdomains received that response. I have another subdomain that works just fine, no problem. Do you think the problem is server side?
I get the error on \install sample data\ but the directions for tutorial video about the phpadmin fix seems soooo complicated. Is there anything easier?
I wonder if this could be a server side error or bug since its just now happening. Ive not had a problem with the other subdomains, and now i tried two different demos with the same problem. Im running php4 and php5.Ive included some links in case someone else is having this issue:
Im confused because when i setup mysql database, everything is already in jos_
one forums says if cpanel access, \run the sampledata sql file in the installation folder. That is a work around until they figure out what is wrong with it.\
heres some forums on the xml invalid error, this one seems exhaustive...

as follows:
Are you using the default table prefix jos_ or have you (like me) altered the prefix to something else?
=> When you have problems installing the sample data after changing the table prefix, here is a simple work around.
Where and when to make the changes:
You can make the below described changes, ...
...a) on your joomla files right after download and unzipping (BEFORE copying onto the desired directory on the web server / local web server for installation)
...b) after you have copied the joomla files into the desired directory, but BEFORE you run the joomla installation routine
If you choose a), you can use the files for multiple installations with only once modifying data.
What to change:
Here is what you have to do:
With a simple text editor:
- open the file ./installation/sql/mysqlsample_data.sql and
- replace the \jos_\ with \#__\ (IMPORTANT: \#__\ with double underscore in comparison to \jos_\ with single underscore).
Note1: Replace it with \#__\ and not with your modified prefix. This will make sure it works with all updated table prefixes, you have selected.
Note2: The file (mysqlsample_data.sql) has some comment lines, which include \jos__\ (2 underscore), with the search and replaces function, they will then be with \#___\ (3 underscore). To avoid that, I did a first run replacing \jos__\ with #__, then replacing \jos_\ with \#__\.
(This is just cosmetics, for a nice appearance and not functional. I think. )
Hope this helps.
