Im looking after a new client whos website was built on Umbraco some years ago and just today they are getting errors just on the home page "Error parsing XSLT file: ...." and every point on the home page has this error. Now to add insult im afraid i have to admit i have never used Umbraco and so wouldnt even know where to start, but if any one can help me out id be very much appreciated or can point me in the right direction. I do have full access to the umbraco site ?
Let me see if I can help you a step further so you can get some more information.
Could you please try go to the /Config/UmbracoSettings.config, and the try find this setting.
<!-- How Umbraco should handle errors during macro execution. Can be one of the following values:
- inline - show an inline error within the macro but allow the page to continue rendering. Historial Umbraco behaviour.
- silent - Silently suppress the error and do not render the offending macro.
- throw - Throw an exception which can be caught by the global error handler defined in Application_OnError. If no such
error handler is defined then you'll see the Yellow Screen Of Death (YSOD) error page.
Note the error can also be handled by the umbraco.macro.Error event, where you can log/alarm with your own code and change the behaviour per event. -->
<MacroErrors> inline </MacroErrors>
Try to change the inline to throw then you should get some more information about the error that you are seen.
thanks for coming back to me, now you will have to excuse my stupidity but im logging into the umbraco site and dont see anything like this ?
all i have is content, media, users, settings, developer and members. If i select developer i do see the XSLT files listed there and some other folders ?
do you need me to go elsewhere ?
thanks again mark
sorry a new after i sent that what you were looking for. ok ive opened the umbracosettings.config and there isnt anything listed for inline as you asked ?
i can send you this file if helps ?

Hi Mark,
That is okay, you will need to get access to the sever where the physical files are located.
Then you will see something like this
As you can see you have the Config folder. In there you will see the UmbracoSettings.config
In this file you will find the above settings that you need to change from inline to throw.
Hope this helps,
