 * I have previously installed WP without any problems at all. Started a new blog
   and after uploading files tried to set up and received this error:
    Warning: 
   Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at/
   homepages/39/d176641878/htdocs/blog/wp-config.php:1) in /homepages/39/d176641878/
   htdocs/blog/wp-login.php on line 12 I have checked the config.php file and there
   does not appear to be any problem with whitespace before <?php. Can anyone offer
   a solution please

 * Check to see if there’s any empty spaces or lines after the closing ?> mark as
   well. Also make sure you haven’t edited this file with something that puts in
   formatting lik eword or wordpad.

 * Thanks drmiketemp I have continually re-uploaded the config file and it finally
   works!! did everything including holding down the delete button at the end of
   the file for 15 seconds, and finally it worked.
