Xml parsing error at 16 10 error 76 mismatched tag

I use J1.5.6 and I recently noticed a new error when I use Admin/Extentions & when I bring up Template manager or ModuleManager/Module (edit) for any module. This error shows up in both areas (Template Manager & Module(edit) when I use certain templates. With the Default template the error is on Template Manager page only, & not on any of the Module (edit) pages. Plug ins and Language are not affected.

XML Parsing Error at 42:2. Error 7: mismatched tag

It refers to the last line of my templateDetails.xml file for my custom template. That error line stays the same regardless of the template in use. All seems to be working ok? no fuctional errors noted yet?

I would appreciate some direction on what this error refers to? and how I might approach repair.
thanks much

You have an error in your templateDetails.xml file. For a «mismatched tag» you should be looking for a <tag> element that is being terminated by something other than </tag>. Remember that XML is case-sensitive, so <Tag> … </tag> will throw an error as well as <something> …. </something-else>. A common mistake is to omit the «/» from the end tag.

If you can’t see it then post your templateDetails.xml here and we can check it for you.

Regards,
Chris.

Sweet Jesus! thank you chris! that was so helpful.
i had an unclosed «param» that has nothing to do there. I think i didnt see the matrix there..
best regards!

I have the same problem. XML Parsing Error at 20:14. Error 76: Mismatched tag. Can you help me and chek my xml-file? Thanks.

templateDetails.xml

Hola amigos mi problema es el mismo no ocurria pero desde hoy empezo a crearse pues mi error es este XML Parsing Error at 2:32. Error 76: Mismatched tag.

Segun su significado es que tiene un error de lectura en xml y no esta cerrada mi etiqueta, tengo la plantilla de rocktheme rt_solarsentinel_j15.
Saludos espero puedan ayudarme

I realize this is a very old post, but to those who are still running a dinosaur site on 1.5.26, I thought I would offer my findings recently as I did on one of my 1.5.26 sites.

I was getting the parsing error: mismatched tags, but I didn’t realize that the closing tag «/>» would generate the error as well. The templateDetails.xml file was the source of the error and the tag was the <param> tag. The developer used the /> tag to close the param tag. Why they didn’t use the </param> instead I have no idea.

Either way, by replacing all of the /> tags with </param> solved the parsing issue.

Cheers!

So, I posted my results yesterday regarding my xml parsing error. It appears that the parsing error has returned. Therefore, I need help. I have tried and tried to figure this out, but the parsing error continues to appear.

Here is my templateDetails.xml details attached.

Here is my exact error: XML Parsing Error at 15:4. Error 7: mismatched tag

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Ok, so I finally figured this out and if it helps someone down the road, then perfect. It turns out that some of the best practices changed within xml / php and this was causing the error.

The original line 1 code contained the following:

<?xml version=»1.0″ encoding=»iso-8859-1″?>

I stumbled upon something within this forum: http://board.phpbuilder.com/showthread. … d-T_string

The entire reason I started to look down this path was thanks to Coda and the Plugin PHP & Web Toolkit and Tidy PHP function which kept noting that there was a parsing error on line 1.

I simply changed the line 1 code to this:

<?php echo ‘<?xml version=»1.0″ encoding=»UTF-8″>’; ?>

ERROR GONE! After months of the scratching my head.

I am getting the following error when opening up my page in Firefox (other browsers don’t show this error). I am using HTML5 and if I try to put closing tags on the input, then the page fails validation.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" >
    <!--... more here...-->
  </head>
  <body>
    <!--... more here...-->
    <input type="text" id="wall_color_picker" onclick="startColorPicker(this)" title="Wall Color" value="#FFFFFF">
    <!--... more here...-->
  </body>
</html>

Edit 1: Firefox version is latest (59.0.2 (64-bit))

Edit 2: Response headers:
