# Changes to wp-config.php

 * I have been managing my WordPress blog for several months now and wanted to get
   it running faster by emptying the cache. I installed a feature that prompted 
   me to add code to the wp-config.php file through an FTP server. I made the change,
   not fully knowing what I was doing, and my site appears blank. I reverted the
   file back, but that does not help any. I can’t even log in to the WordPress platform
   anymore. The entire website is blank right now.
    What do I need to do?!? My site
   is completely dysfunctional at this point, and I need to get it running again
   ASAP!

 * Remove that file from your ftp, and wordpress will automatically create one for
   you..

 * Will the new file include the correct DB name, user, password, host, etc.?

 * It will ask you to enter these values, and i assume you know the dbname, user,
   pass and host

 * Where do you enter the values? I can’t even log into WordPress… When it puts 
   the new file, will I need to just go in and enter my appropriate values?

 * just open your site after removing the wp-config.php
    and it will ask you for
   these values
