SuSE Linux: unable to get a properly formatted response from the server

SuSE Linux: unable to get a properly formatted response from the server

Users running Splunk on a SuSE server may see the error message Unable to get a properly formatted response from the server; canceling the current search when executing a search. Alteratively, the dashboard just won't display properly. 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.
