S.O.S ! XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 15

I have a major problem. I have a production box with asterisk@home 2.7 installed. I have upgraded from amp to freepbx on it. Since it is asterisk 1.2 it is the older version of freepbx. (freePBX 2.3.0 alpha) I have already installed capstral, nerdvittels telephone reminders and I have also bought the licenses for Alison 5 simultaneous calls.
Everything worked fine. I installed Teleyapper 4.0 and it worked great. Then I installed telephonebook from wget http://www.highness.com/typhonebook.pbx
Then I wen on to setup to go to module admin in install it locally. But to my horror, this is the message I am getting.
XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 15
So I can not see anything in setup. I can still see CDR reports, Panel and recordings. But I can not see tools or setup.
The address for setup is http://myasteriskip/admin/config.php?type=setup
The address for tools is http://myasteriskip/admin/config.php?type=tool
Error message for both is same:
XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 15
Here is the code in the first few lines in config.php
Here is code

What went wrong.
Please help me!!! This is really urgent.
Thanks in advance.

First - you are running alpha code and it’s generally best to get yourself updated to something production stable, whether that is the latest 2.3 code or the latest 2.4 code (recommended). Asterisk 1.2 and 1.4 are supported on both, there is no issue with 1.2.

Next - it sounds like the introduction of the new module introduced some corrupted xml code. Go into the file system and move or delete the new module you added (form /var/www/html/admin/modules). Afterwards, hopefully, you will be back in control. It may indicate that module is broken (you can uninstall it and ignore errors it may claim). Then, before trying to reinstall the module, make sure that the xml is not corrupted. The xml is the module.xml file that comes with each module.

Philippe, You are a genius, my savior.
It worked. I deleted the resapective folders and everything worked great.
Is it safe to upgrade the freepbx in asterisk 1.2? Should I go ahead and do that. Can I also reinstall that application and see if it works?
Thanks a million.

there’s a great ‘thanks’ button on the upper left corner of the screen:-)

you are safe to upgrade, from an alpha version though, you probably want to use the tarball to upgrade vs. the online module system. FreePBX detects the Asterisk version and adjusts accordingly when you press the orange bar.

You are welcome to try the app as long as you are comfortable doing the recovery.

Yes of course, I see that, and I sure will. (Thank you and you deserve it)
Could you let me know the step by step link for UPGRADING freepbx using tarball?

I found the instructions. I will upgrade it. Thanks and regards
