    You have a bad character in your wp-config file. Get a fresh copy of it (copy wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php) and start over. Edit carefully and do not use a word processor like MSWord to edit the file. Use a text editor like Notepad.

    In addition to bad character, make sure there is no blank space before <?php tag and after ?>.
