This seems to be the critical bit
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\VLE\Xerte\website_code\php\templates\new_template.php
on line 56 [15-Feb-2010 15:59:50] PHP Warning: include(): Failed

You might need to go into
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\VLE\Xerte\website_code\php\templates\new_template.php
, and replace the call to modules/Xerte/new_template.php with one to a
full path.
This is a new error, so I am guessing.

After you've created a file, or just generally.
i.e. when does the JS error appear?
