Need help with XML

[thebradybunch]

I know nothing about XML. When I click on XML Outlets I get the following page. What does it mean?

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

It sounds like you have a corrupt outlet name or log data; see if it clears up tomorrow; the Apex has 1 log file per day so after midnight you will start a new log.

What happens if you use this URL:

http://apex/cgi-bin/outlog.xml

Thanks guys, Russ I can't see yours without a username and password. My XML Outlet log has always given me this message I just have not gotten around to trying to fix it until now. The XML Datalog looks ok but the XML Status, XML Outlet log and XML Program all give me the same message.

LOL... I meant on your Apex... just substitute your actual hostname or IP address in the URL. When you get the credentials prompt, enter your username/password.

When you click on one of those XML links in the Apex, a static file is loaded (xxxxxxxx.sht) which in turn loads the actual dynamically-generated XML. The intent is to find out if the .sht file(s) are bad, or the actual XML is not being generated properly.

Regardless, try using the firmware updater to reload all web pages.

I'm sorry Russ I misread your post. I thought you were showing me what it was suppose to look like when it works. I upgarded the web pages with the latest firmware update but I'll try it again just in case.

I figured out what was wrong with my XML statements. I had used the "&" symbol in the outlet name of a couple of my outlets. Once I renamed the outlets and took the symbol out everything is working correctly.
