(WSS3) XML web part cannot load xml file in different site collection
I uploaded a xml file into the Shared Document lib in the root site (/Shared/link.xml) In the subsites of the root site, i can use the xml web part to load the xml. However if i am in another site collection (e.g. /sites/site1/), the xml webpart cannot load the xml: "Cannot retrieve the URL specified in the XML Link property. For more assistance, contact your site administrator." I already grant everyone permission to the link.xml in the root site. Please helps. Thanks. Jason

Hi Jason, The problem is the if the account the app pool is running under doesn't have permission to reach the feed, you can either cure this by adding this account to a Domain Everyone group or allowing anonymous access in the Central Administration > Application Management > Application Security > Authentication Providers section & then allowing anonymous access to the specific site / library part you are trying to display. You will also need to allow anonymous access to the site collection you are trying to display the XML from. also take a look @ http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointcustomization/thread/ddec8e44-0a00-4311-8a62-c88cda0e628cWarm Regards, Pratik Vyas | SharePoint Consultant | http://sharepointpratik.blogspot.com/
