Tell me where the whitespace is.

I already told you. And I should have known you would come back with that. Please, I beg, dont argue with me. I have 3 years experience on these forums, and another year running WP away from these forums. And Ive probably answered this same question 100 times. let me go look at my profile.

191×30 = 5730 posts Nope, Im wrong, Ive probably answered this question 300 times.

Its there, and you wont see it in a copy & paste.

if you need to prove me right, upload a fresh copy of the sample wp-config.php, rename it.. and watch how THAT error goes away, and is replaced by the cannot connect to db messages.

Here you go.

I don’t want to argue, there is just nothing before the <?php

.. moving on, sorry. Ive already answered your question.

Nice, didn’t help me at all.

Breen… notepad?… or wordpad? or something better? confess.

actually, Im NOT done. Im going to show you JUST so you can see.

The black is me removing my username on my box. The red shows not ONE but 2 locations where chars have been inserted into the file.

You can clearly see the one right where I said it was.

Next time dont be so sure of yourself. Like I said, Ive a little experience here.

PS: youre welcome for the help

edit: the second is caused by the german aumulaet or whatever that is.

that’s why I asked if it was notepad… notepad will pick an encoding type based on the content of the file.

use wordpad, if there’s nothing better around.

and, by the way, I will admit I should have also included any sort of chars, like is in yours. In my haste I forgot to mention those. Not that it would have mattered.

Your server seems to be down or something. Isn’t working.
I’d be glad to see the picture.

I’m using Dreamweaver CS3, but also tried with Notepad, Wordpad and EasyEclipse.
No whitespace for me.

Finally…
I opened the file with OpenOffice and there were some strange icons. I deleted them, saved as .txt, renamed to .php and traraaa it works.

Thank you very much, whooami.

But your server still doesn’t work, ping neither.

my server works fine . thank you. Your packets were prolly dropped since I dont care for a good deal of spammy european hosts.

Use EditPlus or something similar to edit text files. And EditPlus also edits PHP, CSS, HTML, and other code language files. If you use something like that you shouldn’t get those kinds of problems.
