headers already sent

In some cases, I’ve found notepad does weird things. Try WordPad (although WordPad is not at all recommended, it does make the code easier to read in the meantime.

I used notepad++ to open my wp-config.php and found that the original from the wordpress archive is in ansi format. after pulling up the file in notepad and saving it, notepad changes it to utf-8 format. apparantly this is what was causing the problem.
I pulled up wp-config-sample.php in notepad++, edited it, saved as wp-config.php and uploaded that and my site does not give the headers already sent error.

I’m receiving the same error, and I made my edits using Dreamweaver. Are there any other suggests as to what the problem could be?

My full error reads:

rr
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxxx/public_html/mk/wp-config.php:1) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/mk/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1348

And if I try to ignore the error and continue with the installation, eventually, I’ll get a page full of errors and the login will not work.

You have extra characters (the rr) in wp-config.php file. If you see nothing out-of-the-ordinary, it could be an encoding issue, in which case, do what radial did.

Oh my goodness, I can’t believe I didn’t see those extra characters! Thanks the problem is fixed!

It doesn’t like the following in “funtions.php” of your applied theme either…

<?php

Php code

?>
<!-- html comment -->
<?php

Php code

?>

It wants you to do this:

<?php

Php code

/* php comment */

Php code

?>

Doesn’t seem to matter *if* you use HTML code, but if it’s only a comment between ?> and <?php it gets pissy…
