Parser Error Message: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

I am unable to access my site. I can access the FTP site and reload through Visual Studio, but am trying not to do so. Any ideas?

 

Server Error in '/' Application.

this is what I can open with VS08.

Hi,
The default browser files for the .NET framework are on your local system, look for them in the config folder.
On your site they go in the folder: App_Browsers
You can safely remove that folder it you are not using it or if you want to test without it.
Salute,
Mark

I replaced the code in the safari file with the default and now I receive this error

deleting the safari file allows the site to come back!!! Thank you guys!! Does removing this app file cause any slowdown in the performance of the site with Firefox?

 

thanks guys!!! My first semi real fix! I appreciate it...

 

this is what I can get off the ftp site. Where else can I look?

 

Hi,
Where did you get the safari browser file for the .NET framework?
I just checked the default configs and there isn't one for Safari in there.

If you want to override that error for now you can use this generic browser:

 

now I get to show my newness to building this. What file extension do I upload that to? Do I need to download from the ftp and rebuild ?
