Unable to get a properly formatted response from the server
Users running Splunk on a SuSE server may receive the error message Unable to get a properly formatted response from the server; canceling the current search when executing any kind of search. Or, the dashboard just won't display properly (or at all.)
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.
Note: If you are using a proxy, you will need to flush that as well.
