Hi,
I'm using gitweb from latest git tree. I can't view any objects with my
firefox browser, but it works ok with my IE. The error is like this:
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location:
http://10.193.20.133/gitweb/?p=linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c0051ec763eca4c1

Line Number 43, Column 38:| author | Li Yang

-------------------------------------^
Would it be anything wrong with my gitweb configuration or apache setup?
Thanks,
Leo
```

When I've had errors like that in the past it has been because:
a) Firefox installation corrupt; try running with a new profile
(firefox -ProfileManager)
b) Firefox has been upgraded but you haven't restarted it since.
c) An extension is incompatible with your current version, but doesn't know
it

I have reinstalled my firefox and updated to 2.0.0.2

It is restarted.

I have disabled all the add-ons
And the problem still exists. :(

I've seen another one.
d) gitweb does not like your name (your name is not encoded in
UTF-8 while gitweb incorrectly assumes it is), and spits out
malformed output.

Try to save the output and verify it with some other xml-parser. The
"" seems to be the culprit here, since "@" is no
allowed character for a xml-tag, and there maybe is some html-escaping of
the email address missing?

I think IE just chooses to ignore the error.
