Solution

  • I found it, My xml file contains some errors.. Once you have this message: malformed config.xml . First thing to do is to validate your xml file, use this link: https://www.xmlvalidation.com/ because this error does not specify what is wrong in your file, only the xmlvalidation will tell you Hope this will help.
