Complex type "service": the content model is not deterministic

Question

I get this strange error with Symfony2. Everything works fine in localhost, but when I try this on my server, I get this PHP error:

[06-Mar-2013 22:04:50 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Exception\InvalidArgumentException' with message '[ERROR 3070] complex type 'service': The content model is not determinist.

Something seems to be related to the XMLFile loader, but I haven't made any changes to its file

This is a bug in libxml2 - are you using RHEL or CentOS? Check out https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-0591.html and if you cannot wait for the update to be released through yum update , you can upgrade to an earlier version:

yum downgrade libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.21.el5_9.1

Many thanks to @denkiryokuhatsuden on this GitHub issue for fixing.
