  Hello,
  
  I've just started creating a new sitefinity website from the 3.5sp1 standard blank project. I created a few pages, added a few templates etc. Did notice right away but when I click Modules -> News I get a parser error:

  Parser Error

  Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.
  
  Parser Error Message: Root element is missing.
  
  Source Error:
  
  

  [No relevant source lines]

  
  Source File: /Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/News/App_LocalResources/ControlPanelEdit.ascx.resx    Line: 0
  

  I haven't done any work with the News module yet, so not even sure what to look for. The file exists where it says it is and has information in it.
  
  Can you let me know what to do to fix this?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Kalvin

  Hi Kalvin MacLeod,
  
  It seems ~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/News/App_LocalResources/ControlPanelEdit.ascx.resx file is not formatted properly, more exactly it's missing the root node. Please open the file with notepad for example and make sure it has a <root> element:
  
  

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  <root>

  ...

  </root>

  
  For your convenience I have attached a working version of the resource file.
  
  Do let us know if this helps.

  I'm having this same issue. The error shows that /sitefinity/Admin/App_LocalResources/ModifiedBlogPost.ascx.resx is the problem. This file doesn't exist, so I can't fix the root element of it. How do I go about fixing this if the file does not exist?

  
  

  Thanks,

  Hi J.R. Garcia,
  
  We do not have a resx file called ModifiedBlogPost.ascx.resx that is located under /sitefinity/Admin/App_LocalResources/. Check,  in which template you are trying to use some resources from ModifiedBlogPost.ascx.resx. It seems that you are referencing this file somehow.
  
  Best wishes,
