Thank you! This worked beautifully, even though we run MOSS, not WSS.

it was actually the %webroot%\App_Browsers\_vti_cnf folder that needed to be deleted, but it immediately fixed the problem we'd been having for the past 3 hours or so

iworm:

Just try Xml.Load() function instead of Xml.LoadXml().

this is the answer. perfecto!

Hi,

Thankyou so much for this solution.

My website has many folders like images and icons etc.

Under each there was _vti_cnf folder and each of them had the malicious web.config file.

Once I deleted all of them, I could publish my website without any problem.

I have a doubt whether the _vti_cnf folder is required at all in the first place for the website to run

Hi,

I had a same problem while calling SP (below) :

ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.[usp ATI SearchStudent V1]
   @AcademicDetails NVARCHAR(20),
   @FirstName NVARCHAR(20),
   @MiddleName NVARCHAR(20),
   @LastName NVARCHAR(20),
   @Result XML OUTPUT
AS

BEGIN

DECLARE @sSQL VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @sCondition NVARCHAR(20)

SET @sCondition = ' WHERE '

SET @sSQL = '(SELECT StudentID,
                AcademicDetails,
                FirstName as "PersonalDetails/FirstName",
                MiddleName as "PersonalDetails/MiddleName",
                LastName as "PersonalDetails/LastName" FROM tb_StudentInfo'

IF(@AcademicDetails <> '')
BEGIN
   SET @sSQL = @sSQL + @sCondition + ' AcademicDetails = ''' + @AcademicDetails + ''''
   SET @sCondition = ' AND '
END

IF(@FirstName <> '')
BEGIN
   SET @sSQL = @sSQL + @sCondition + ' FirstName = ''' + @FirstName + ''''
   SET @sCondition = ' AND '
END

IF(@MiddleName <> '')
BEGIN
   SET @sSQL = @sSQL + @sCondition + ' MiddleName = ''' + @MiddleName + ''''
   SET @sCondition = ' AND '
END

IF(@LastName <> '')
BEGIN
   SET @sSQL = @sSQL + @sCondition + ' LastName = ''' + @LastName + ''''
   SET @sCondition = ' AND '
END

SET @sSQL = @sSQL + ' FOR XML PATH(''Student''), ROOT(''Sis''), ELEMENTS XSINIL);'

SET @Result = @sSQL

--EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL @Result

END

Still I am looking for solution.

Hi, I had the same problem as the original poster, I made the mistake of opening the website with FrontPage, removed the front page extensions and it all worked. Thanks for the pointers

Thanks Jbenisek for that post.

I had the same problem, I only open my sharepoint web site with Sharepoint Designer 2007 without saving anything , and voila, everything exploded. It had nothing to do with any permissions with ASP or changes to any web.config files, I did a hard drive seach and all the date stamp on all the web.config were untouched. I must say that all theses stupid events are pushing us to the wrong side of the problem. I saw these folders created by SD 2007 when i compared with yesterday's set of backups, but I didn't care, they were only inoffensive folders... When i read your post, I removed all the scrap left by SD 2007 and everything went back to normal.

The only lesson i had in this is to only work with copies when working with SD 2007, and basics are often the best way to go.

Again, thanks Jbenisek, and like you said, this guy who set up this should be shot !!!

I found that if the first line of web.config does not have a space before the closing ?, I get the "data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1." error. In your example you are also missing the extra space.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> (CAUSES ERROR)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> (WORKS LIKE A DREAM)
