D’oh, I figured it out myself. Apparently after I edited the wp-config.php in the editor it saved ti with all kinds of useless tags before the first <?php> call. The extended installation guide warned about that.
I’ve only got myself to blame for this one.
Everything seems to be working fine now. All I need is a nice theme to unify the look with the rest of my site and I’m all set.
Thanks for the response and sorry for your time.
Kind regards
Rick
