Error: String could not be parsed as XML

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. loaded up POS 5.1.1
2. go to install.php and follow directions, get to api input
3. copy directly my api info and it produces this error
" Error: String could not be parsed as XML "

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the next step, which is getting the character setup.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
5.1.1 beta 1

Please provide any additional information below.

I have run over and over all the threads and I cant seem to figure it out.

I am getting a

Error: String could not be parsed as XML

when entering an API key.

Also, after running install.php, and running threw the install( admin setup, 
region loading, api key which i end up skipping ), if I try to sign in at 
login.php I get an error:

Wrong Login or Pass!

it could be a tell tale for my problems.....

I have a host capable:

CURL: Yes
SimpleXML: Yes
Hash: Yes
Register_globals: Off
cache/template_c: OK
eveconfig/dbconfig.php: OK

Hello,

We're currently troubleshooting a problem with the API service. As such, 
there's a partial outage of some of the API services.

We'll keep you updated as we have more information.

If you're getting the wrong login or pass, try just clicking the button and not 
hitting enter. Also make sure you typed that password correctly :)

Not a POS Tracker issue.

Ok
I just want to make it clear for myself and others....
If I enter my web address it goes to the Login screen......Good....Now I posted 
I cant login before, but its not possible unless I register a 
character...right...so
When I click Register, it brings up the API window....Good 
Now, when I get my API info and input it and click the " Get Characters " 
Button, It gives me :

API ERROR or No Character on provided API Information

Is this still the API issue that is going on with CCP?
Or do I need to fix something in my database or website set-up?
Thx

When you first install the POS Tracker you can login with the admin account you 
setup. 

When registering if you get that API error something isn't right. I would try 
the following.

1. http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/test_eve_api.php?function=eve_character_id

Go there and find out your character ID for your account that you wish to 
register.

2. 
http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/test_eve_api.php?function=character_character
sheet

Go there and put in the character ID you found, your limited API key 
information and see what happens. If you get an error something is wrong with 
your account or isn't being typed in correctly. Request another API key and 
wait 10 minutes before trying again.

Ok.
I did the Character ID test and that was ok.
I did the API character sheet test and that was ok too.
So, it must be my site im thinking. 
I think I might try and delete the database and re install the site again....
unless you have any other ideas.
Thanks for your help so far!

I've never had such an issue like this before. I would try a re-install from 
scratch unfortunately.

First I would try v5.1.2. If it still doesn't work, try v5.0.2. There's a small 
difference in API pulls between the two versions however there should really be 
no reason that I can see why it wouldn't work unless the host was purposely 
blocking something. Hrmm perhaps login under your admin account, go to the 
admin panel and do a version check. It will refresh the page but scroll back 
down and see if it actually pulled in that the latest version is v5.1.3. If it 
doesn't then the host must be blocking traffic out. Best of luck!

Guys tell me whats going on with Api V2?
I created custom corp key for corp ceo, trying to add it to POS tracker (fresh 
installation of 5.1.6) and getting an error:

I've checked all stuff few times already but couldn't solve it myself
