Hi all. I'm trying to create an ePub from scratch (well, sort of from scratch) for a work project. I keep getting the same error message when I try to validate it.

Here's the error message: No rootfile with media type 'application/oebps-package+xml'

Here are the guts of my META-INF/container.xml file:
<rootfiles>
<rootfile full-path="OEBPS/package.opf"
media-type="application/oebps-package+xhtml+xml"/>
</rootfiles>
</container>

My OPF file is named "package.opf".

I've compared my META-INF/container.xml file to other ePubs that I know validate and function correctly, and it seems to match.

BUT clearly something is amiss! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
