Unable to get a properly formatted response from the server

Users running Splunk on a SuSE 10.x server may receive the error message Unable to get a properly formatted response from the server; canceling the current search when trying to run a search. This problem may also manifest itself as showing undefined for the event count on the homepage.


In order to resolve this issue edit /etc/mime.types. Delete (or comment out) these 2 lines: 


text/x-xsl xsl
text/x-xslt xslt xsl

Also change this line: 


text/xml xml

to: 


text/xml xml xsl

With these changes in place, restart Splunk and clear your browser cache.
