Am I Doomed? 2.7 upgrade issue

Did you search the forums for the headers not sent error? You’ll get numerous results, mostly saying that you have a space in your wp-config that shouldn’t be there. This is often indeed the case.

I searched for line 850 and something else, but I didn’t see what you were saying. I will check it out though. Thanks for the prompt reply.

No the error is in you wp-config.php file. You have an blank line at the top of the file. Delete it.

Thanks. The thing is, I do not have any blank lines or spaces in my wp-config.php file. I misinterpreted the warning to mean the problem was in the wp-includes/pluggable.php, so I removed an extra line there. I finally found the FAQ and I don’t have any extra space in line 1.

Should I put the extra line back in pluggable.php?

<?php

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */

Now there’s an extra two (2) spaces after /** in line 2. Could that be it?

What are you using to edit your wp-config file. You should only use a plain text editor like notepad. Also it doesn’t have to be a blank line a single space will cause that error as well. Just place your cursor right before the opening <?php tag and hold backspace to clear any spaces.

Hauh? Re-upload the WordPress 2.7 files. You may have just made your problem worse by trying to modify that file. Edit: scratch that, thought your were editing plugable.php.

Jeremy already told you what the problem is. See this link https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Answers-Troubleshooting#Headers_already_sent

Now make a copy of your wp-config.php for backup purposes, keep that copy safe.

Copy the wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php. Using you backup copy as a guide, change (only change!) the database, database user portion. If your database is not localhost, change that too.

Good luck.

Yeah, I did that. It seemed to have cleared up the webpage showing up, but I still cannot login at my wp-login.php page.

I appreciate everyone’s help, by the way. I get frustrated when this stuff happens, so I may not be seeing what I should see.

Still have the problem. Your wp-login.php reports

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/apolitic/public_html/wp-config.php:1) in...

Have you created a fresh copy of wp-config.php? The blog page loads but you do get those errors.

Yeah, I had my wp-config.php saved with UTF-8 encoding. I saved it as the default ANSI and I am back up and running.

Thanks everyone, you kept me from hurting myself. LOL

Ps.: i had some trouble too… I download the brazilian wordpress and the wp_config.php is f***ed up…. so i just used the american one… wordpress should know that… ;]

Did you try another themes? But if you were using the default themes, it should be worked!
