    NEVER POST THE FULL CONTENT OF YOUR WP-CONFIG FILE IN PUBLIC!

    You need to go change your DB password RIGHT NOW. Seriously, you just told everyone your DB domain, your password AND user name. NEVER do that again.

    Okay, you did that?

    <!--?php

    Does it really start with that?

    Yes, the file that (I seamed to have changed something) does start with <1–?php

    I was trying to edit to change my url to get rid of wp at the end of the url and messed something up somewhere in the code somehow. Thanks for you help.
