Maybe I should clarify.

That couldnt be true, because when i do the same thing on an another server, it works flawlessly, without any bumps on the road. I don't know what could be causing this.

RE: Document root element is missing.
Is the XML doc coming from you or another source? If it's a UTF-8 doc with a byte order marker (BOM) in front of the xml declaration it will fail. I'm not sure about CFMX7 but I'm assuming it was a bug in xmlparse 6 6.1 since technically a BOM can exist and should still validate. Open the xml doc in a hex editor. If there's a BOM you'll see a ... or EF BB BF in front of the first declaration. If it's not UTF-8 the BOM will be different but will still be represented by 3 garbage bytes of data. The simplest way to overcome it is to just strip away everything before your root element. You'll need to kill the declaration in the process since CF won't see the BOM as whitespace. Ex. cfset begin = Find(rss version=2.0,CFHTTP.FileContent) cfscript begin = begin -1; xml = RemoveChars(CFHTTP.FileContent,1,begin); xml = XMLParse(xml); /cfscript cfdump var=#xml# Maybe this helps.

Did you open the file in hexedit like I suggested. I can almost guarantee the presence of a BOM.

If you did for some reason then you could always strip out your first and everything before it, then add it back. If your unfamiliar with hex and want me to confirm it, send over the file.

Re: Document root element is missing.
Sorry I was busy with a new report so my response was not very helpful :( Like Issac said though just use cffile and parse the contents. In MX 6 XMLparse only parsed a string (which it assumed was a well formed XML document, if it wasn't it would spot an error back at you). In MX 7 they added the ability for you to pass a string which contained the path to a file which was a well formed XML document. Testing envirmonments should not be so drastically different. Your staging and production environments should be as identical as possible. MX 6 and MX 7 are enough different that you should not be testing on one and deploying on the other...this is a great example of why this is true...load testing as well...things that run well on MX 7 may not necasserily run as nicely in MX 6.

RE: Document root element is missing.
If you know what the root element is, you can write a CF script to strip everything else using a regular expression reasonably easily... maybe even without knowing what the root element is... cfloop query=getFile cffile action=read file=#getFile.path# variable=xml cfset xml = rereplacenocase(trim(xml),^.*(([[:alpha:]]+).*/\2).*$,\1) cffile action=write file=#getFile.path# output=#xml# /cfloop Or just put a similar regular expression around the content of the file before you parse it. I have 100s of XML files, if not more to go through, it would be impossible to go through each one of them and strip off everything before the root element... When I do the cffile action=read file=#filename# variable=myxml, it reads the file, but I need it parsed.

RE: Document root element is missing.
So are you saying even after reading with cffile you cant just xmlparse(myxml)?

RE: Document root element is missing... Another issue rises
I have added the cffile and it gets rid of the Document root element is missing. finally, but it doesn't make sense to me a little, why first reading the file and then parsing it would solve this issue. But thank you so much everyone for your help and input! Another issue rises though, on some XML files, when I run my script and insert into the DB the values from the XML file, I get this error: Error Executing Database Query. Invalid data for CFSQLTYPE CF_SQL_INTEGER. The above error happens only on some XML files, and all are in identical format, all the files run smoothly on the other server, the CF7 server, but gives this here.
