Warning: Cannot modify header information

As you can see below the wp-config is as per spec and has been changed about a million times with the same results.

Hi,
Looks like issue with some plugin. Take a copy of all the plugins in the plugin folder and delete all the plugin.
Then try logging into the site.
You can restore the plugins from backup and activate them.

i tried to rename the plugins folder as i saw on one site, and it remained the same. Very wierd. having a headfache.

Please post the url to your site.

wp-config.php became unicode, not sure where/why, cannot seem to chaneg it on my pc. A friend managed to change it back for me. ??

Working now ??

Hello, I’m very inexperienced with all of this and I’m in dire need of help! I’m getting the messages “cannot modify header…” and I went to the file wp-config.php and did not understand ANYTHING there. Is there someone who can look at my file below and possibly tell me what I need to do to be able to log in to my administration page??
