 * I am having a nightmare here. I have installed many joomla sites without problems
   but thought it was time to try wordpress.
    OK, all config.php altered and ftp’d,
   database set up ok, once i go to install page I get this: Warning: Cannot modify
   header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/45/
   d302974547/htdocs/londonchairs/wp-config.php:1) in /homepages/45/d302974547/htdocs/
   londonchairs/wp-admin/install.php on line 54
 * I have had a look through the common problems and checked no whitespace before
   <?php or after ?> I am using notepad in ansi format.
 * Can anyone help please?

 * Have a look at “Interpreting the error message” on this page:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F)
 * It says line 1 of wp-config.php is at fault. There is lots of other great info
   there (the above link), too.
