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.

Yeah, the site mostly functions (I’m still having troubles getting the exhibit plugin to work)

I’ll take a crack at reuploading the file.

(ps. vim is a unix text editor that runs in a command line shell (ssh) )

Line 7 hardwrapped. “value” is really at the end of line 6.

OK, I think I did what you asked. Did you find it?

Would you like to see it (my wp-config.php file)?

Well, thats where the whole problem started. My hosting is through DreamHost (a very excellent outfit, I must say). I originally installed WP 1.2 via their oneclick installer which worked great except that I did not own the wp-config.php file nor did I have sufficient privileges to read or write to it. Consequently, when I upgraded to 1.5 I had to install a new wp-config.php file, copied from the 1.5 wp-config-sample.php file. Then I had to configure it myself (not a good thing).

vim – on the server when I ssh in.
