I'll just installed SilverStripe and got this error on my main page

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://www.metalmonkeygames.com/
Line Number 45, Column 75:

The offender is the ' in won't, I tried fixing it myself, but I couldn't find where this string was stored.

Any help would be great, this package looks really nice.

I've just tried a clean install of silverstripe and got the same problem.

I deleted the directory and tried the installation again using the same database. The second time it was fine.

Which directory did you delete?

I'm using Ubuntu Linux so all files were are in /var/www/

First I installed in SilverStripe/

Then I deleted that and created a directory called ss/ and copied the files from the zip into there.

I already knew what files needed the server write permissions on so I'd changed them before going to ss/

And I think both times I saw a message flash up about PHP not being able to unlink mysite/_config.php (I'm not sure why it would do that as it just wrote that file).

let me know how you go.

Found a solution here http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/3602

I just changed "won/'t" to "wont" on lines 247, 252 and 257 of sapphire/core/control/ContentController.php

Thanks!

I was working through the tutorial and realised that my changes weren't doing anything. I looked at mysite/_config.php and it had SSViewer::set_theme('blackcandy'); - I'm sure I set it to the empty template for the tutorial.

As soon as I changed the theme to 'tutorial' I got the XML error again.

I used the other workaround which I think is a bit easier, delete the very first line of themes/tutorial/templates/Page.ss - the one that says
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

This fix helped. Thanks for posting it.
