 * ara,
    This is my best guess, so please bear with me…try taking a peek at your
   wp-config.php file, and make sure that there are no extra spaces or returns anywhere.
   Especially make sure that there is nothing after the closing PHP tag – ?> HTH.

 * ara, if you upgraded from a previous version of WP to a newer version, you have
   to have run upgrade.php which creates new tables etc if needed. Have you run 
   that file? Try running it anyways, doesn’t harm 🙂
    wp-admin/upgrade.php
