is there a list of output error & troubleshoting?

I haven't connected to the traccar server for a cpl of months and, I have however, upgraded the system a few times in that time so, some .conf files have surely changed.

I don't know why I can't connect to the server anymore because I can't find what this error message means:

2026-01-13 18:33:22 ERROR: Main method error - - SAXParseException (... < Config:45 < <gener:-1 < *:-1 < ... < Main:117 < *:111)

Could anyone help, please?

Thanks in advance

This error likely indicates that your configuration file is invalid XML. Make sure you escape all characters that need to be.

Thanks Anton, but I really don't know what characters I should 'escape'
This is what my traccar.xml looks like:

sorted. I didn't realize the port was missing

The issue definitely wasn't with the port. You must have changed something else as well.

Yes, to be more specific, i had two square brackets with nothing within (where the port number should have been).

Thanks for the support Anton
