Tomcat reports xml error and I've spent hours trying to fix this with no luck. It says line 1 column 1 and they all are correct according to me. Any suggestion on how to fix this? I've tried atlassian-xml-cleaner-0.1.jar to create a new file out of the old one and still I get the same error.
I have another server (production) where I have the same files and it seems to be working fine there, though I did not try a restart. I copied the xml from that production server into this host and still get the error.
Here is the line 1 from all the 4 xml's.
context.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
server.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
tomcat-users.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
