File-servers.xml isn't XML and that causes problems?

I've noticed when configuring the custom file-servers-custom.xml file that this file (and it's real twin file-servers.xml) aren't formatted correctly as XML files.  There is no XML header at the beginning of the file.  Anyone know why this is?

I think this might also be affecting trying to import a custom configurated file-servers-custom.xml file.  For some reason when this file is added to the application-context.xml file or renamed to file-servers-custom-context.xml (so that it will import along with all other *-context.xml files), it causes the Alfresco server initialization to really go berserk, listing a million different initialization strings and errors and results in a corrupted initialization where the Alfresco server cannot be accessed.  Does anyone know how to correctly import a custom file-servers-custom.xml file or should I just reconfigure the core file-servers.xml file (which is not recommended)?

Thanks!

Hi,

The problem you're having is most probably not related to XML formatting. You might have something else causing the errors. Can you post the errors you mentioned and a snapshot of your file-servers-custom.xml file?

Also, what happens when you try to boot Alfresco up without using file-servers-custom.xml and/or network-protocol-context.xml?

Thanks,
