Hm..

If it is plain HTML you should not get any error messages, as HTML is not interpreted as a programming language. It would just not show things the way expected.

Have you set your server to interpret all HTML files as PhP or something like that?

That being said, this looks odd to me:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= Site/Welcome.html" />

Don't you need some quotes? (Although I do not use refreshes)
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0"; url= "Site/Welcome.html" />

It's probably interpreting the '<?' part of the '<?xml' tag as a PHP tag. You should disable short_tags as this is the very reason it was long ago deprecated and disabled (or even removed) it more recent PHP versions.
