[Xerte] Having problems with Xerte 2.10 not opening xml file

Not a typo. The actual domain it is running on is
training.harlandds.com. Yes, you would think it would be harlandfs.com,
but it's different for reasons that would bore everyone to explain. I've

didn't make any difference.

A working course has the exact same lines.
