 * I’m not able to load my site (braingainrecruiting.com) and I get the following
   error when I attempt to accept braingainrecruiting.com/wp-admin:
 * Fatal error: fatal flex scanner internal error–end of buffer missed in /homepages/
   18/d93778648/htdocs/test/testsite/braingain/wp-config.php on line 63
 * I’m not sure how to access the wp-config file without going through wp-admin.
   This problem has been persisting for about 24 hours — please advise on how to
   diagnose (and fix) the problem.
