Server Error in '/' Application

[ralphy]

Web Admin hasn't been working for a while, and I've finally got around to trying to find out why - but without success.

Code:

[color=#FF0000][SIZE=4]Server Error in '/' Application.[/SIZE][/color]
Root element is missing.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing.

Any suggestions? (NPVR 2.5.5 - yes I know)

It looks like your config-web.xml in the data directory might be bad

looks like it is finding the config file but it is damaged..... below is a valid config-web.xml file.....

Indeed, the file was corrupted.

All good now, thanks for the valid file
