 * That’s odd. Mine’s `/** WordPress's config file **/`, though it’s old, so I suppose
   things could’ve changed. It certainly sounds like you have an errant backslash(
   aka ASCII 92) somewhere in there.

 * I’ll guess that you did not use a plain text editor to edit the wp-config.php
   file ?
    Are you on a Mac ?

 * No, I fixed it already. It was a silly mistake too, I put a \ where it shouldn’t
   have been.
    Thanks!
