# HELP! wp-config.php problem

 * Hello all
 * I tried to modify my wp-config.php with a tiny bit of code. (I edit my files 
   via Dreamweaver BTW.)
 * I copied the entire contents of the wp-config to a duplicate file saved on my
   desktop so I had a backup.
 * The modification did not work so when I pasted the original code back in, nothing
   happened. The blog just went blank. No admin panel, no nothing, just blank white
   staring back at me.
 * I tried again fixing things by entering my database info in the wp-config-sample.
   php and do a “save as”. Uploaded it and still it did not work.
 * Any help would be appreciated. There’s nothing to see there at the moment but
   m blog is located at: [http://lawsonarchive.com](http://lawsonarchive.com)

 * I discovered the wp-config had not be closed with the proper ?>
 * Also, I think Dreamweaver was not successfully interacting with the server, so
   uploading the correct file was hit or miss. The tell-tale sign was that file 
   size should have been 3K, but it was always showing up 0K.
 *  I switched to editing in TextEdit (will invest in a decent text editor) and 
   uploading via Transmit. The latter made it much clearer & easier to know that
   I had uploaded successfully.
