Cannot modify header information…

  • Hi,

    I am trying to install WordPress in my language, Turkish. I uploaded all the files, created the database and when I check

    https://www.thewebsite.com/wp-admin/install.php
    it gives the following warning message.

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxx/public_html/thewebsite.com/wp-config.php:1) in /home/xxx/public_html/thewebsite.com/wp-admin/install.php on line 36

    I searched the net and did what some people suggested but it did not solve my problem. I know the problem is in wp-config.php file line 1, but can’t see what it is.

    The file is below:

    Can somebody please help?

  • Did you edit wp-config with a word processor like MSWord?

    Or try adding ?> at the end of the file and make sure there are no empty lines after that. (And never edit in Word).

    This issue puzzles me because I have intentionally tried to break my install by jacking with that closing PHP tag and adding blank line and spaces. I just can’t get it to break. Any thought? Are there special server config settings (for example) that play into this?

    Hi apljdi

    I am not an insider and not a programmer. So I sure would’nt know about special server config settings.

    The closing tag was there in wp-config-sample.php with 2.7.1.

    I stil believe it was there in 2.8.6 once, but it is missing in a recent fresh download. And it is missing in 2.9.1.

    I scored some thank you’s with this advice from people fighting with the first installation of 2.9.1. (dutch forum).

    I cannot test that because I do not have an extra testspace and I do not want to give up my testsite for the moment, but can it be of more impact upon a new install?
    (I understand you tried to “break” an allready running site.)

    This is sort of the puzzling part. I know that a lot of people suggest checking that closing tag and the line/spaces and a lot of people seem to benefit from doing that, but I can’t duplicate the problem.

    Yes, I did try to break a working install– a couple, actually. I have in-development sites on an Apache server on Slackware at home (as well as a sandbox current WP and a bleeding edge trunk WP but I didn’t test on these), plus I have another hosted server (Apache on Centos) that we are migrating to but which can serve as a testbed until the final migration.

    And even on a new setup the chance of failure is small so it will be hard to reproduce. So many variations in hosting-servers setup.
