Header Errors (no extra white space, I swear)

    Like many newbie installers, I started to get a lot of errors in the admin sections after upgrading to 1.5. For example:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/.waddlesheater/pdg/sbox.net/blogrd105/wp-config.php:1) in /home/.waddlesheater/pdg/sbox.net/blogrd105/wp-admin/admin.php on line 6

    I’ve searched this forum and read many post advising that this is most likely the result of extra line feeds, carriage returns, etc at the very beginning or very end of the wp-config.php file. I checked this file in both bbedit (locally, showing line numbers and invisibles) and then in vim (editing the live file on my server). And I swear to you, there is nothing extra there.

    (I just got nervous and triple checked. Still nothing there)

    I also get similar errors when I click the login link except the error initiates from the wp-login.php file.

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/.waddlesheater/pdg/sbox.net/blogrd105/wp-login.php:1) in /home/.waddlesheater/pdg/sbox.net/blogrd105/wp-login.php on line 7

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for you time,
    Paul

    Things are looking up!

    After upload yet another copy of the same wp-config.php – using bbedit to create the file and fetch set to text mode to upload the file – it still gave the errors. But this time, when I used vim to look at the file, I could see that there was extra garbage at the beginning of the new file. After editing that garbage out MOST of the error messages went away!

    Now I only see the errors when I click on the “login” link. These errors come form wp-login.php.

    I’m gonna try the same fix for that file.

    Could this problem be coming from bbedit and file encoding?

    ibessant – thanks for the exhibit tip! You describe exactly the trouble I’m having.

    “Could this problem be coming from bbedit and file encoding?”

    Yup ??

    Glad it’s sorting out though !

    GREAT!

    After uploading a new wp-login.php NO MORE ERRORS!

    I just wish I could find the logic behind what was fixed. I can discern no differences in the new files that worked and the old files that gave errors. Oh well, don’t look a gift house in the mouth!

    THANKS PODZ! WP Rocks! The WP community Rocks!

    Excellent stuff ??
