Description

Hi, I'm new to Drupal and I'm developing a local website using XAMPP. I was happily uploading many documents through the iPaper module. Everything was working fine then suddenly I couldn't successfully upload files anymore. When I create a new iPaper content, the node is created but the document attached is not converted to iPaper and I receive these error messages all at once:

    * warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in C:\Programmi\xampp\htdocs\mywebsite\sites\all\modules\ipaper\scribd.php on line 239.
    * warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Status: 500 Internal Server Error in C:\Programmi\xampp\htdocs\mywebsite\sites\all\modules\ipaper\scribd.php on line 239.
    * warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: ^ in C:\Programmi\xampp\htdocs\mywebsite\sites\all\modules\ipaper\scribd.php on line 239.
    * Scribd error #:

It seems like it just stopped working. I tried to refresh the module files but didn't help. Then I tried adding the iPaper module to another local drupal installation I have and I received the same error messages when trying to upload.

I need the direct file upload for the people I'm developing the website for, so it's kind of a problem.
Any idea? Thank you :-)

It seems like the requests to Scribd are not succeeding. Do you have CURL installed or is fsockopen supported on your server?

also, can you make sure you have php5?

I'm creating release candidate 4 that might solve this problem. Can you check if it fixes your problem?

30 weeks and no answer... should we mark this fixed?

yes, this was probably either fixed with the new releases, or the issue was related to something on that specific server.
