   wp-admin/install.php,’ this is what I get. I’m as confused as anything, so hopefully
   there will be a quick fix to this. Here is my wp-config.php file. Maybe something
   is wrong in this? “<?php /** WordPress’s config file **/ /** [http://wordpress.org/](http://wordpress.org/)**///**
   MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘blissful_blog’); // The name of the database
   define(‘DB_USER’, ‘blissful_carn); // Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’,‘[
   my password]’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance
   you won’t need to change this value // Change the prefix if you want to have 
   multiple blogs in a single database. $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’
   or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’ /* Stop editing */ $server = DB_HOST; $loginsql = DB_USER;
   $passsql = DB_PASSWORD; $base = DB_NAME; define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);//
   Get everything else require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’); ?>” If someone is
   kind enough to answer, I just want to warn you that I am, indeed, a newbie. I
   don’t quite understand all of the terms and all that go in to making this, so
   if you could write your explanation in WordPress For Dummies mode, I’d appreciate
   it. 😉 Thanks in advance!!

 * blissfully,
    Is the above code cut and paste directly or did you type it all 
   in? If it is a direct cut and paste, then I see a problem. On this line: <pre
   > define(‘DB_USER’, ‘blissful_carn); // Your MySQL username </pre> you need to
   add a single quote after “_carn. It will then look like this: <pre> define(‘DB_USER’,‘
   blissful_carn’); // Your MySQL username </pre> Give that a whirl and see how 
   it goes. Craig.

 * Thanks very much, Craig! What a silly mistake on my part. It works fine now after
   fixing it…I appreciate the help!

 * I take that back. I’ve found another error when I try to log in. I seem to remember
   reading a post here that resembled this problem, but I’m having trouble finding
   it so I just thought I’d ask again.
    When I put in the username as ‘admin,’ and
   the generated password, I receive this error: Warning: Cannot modify header information–
   headers already sent by (output started at /home/blissful/public_html/blog/wp-

 * As far as I know, I don’t have a “my-hacks.php” file to fix. Is this necessary
   to have uploaded?

 * blissfully,
    Check your wp-config.php file for extra line spaces or line breaks.
   If you have your original wp-config-sample.php file, you can use it for comparison.

 * Okay, I brought both of them up and checked them out. They are identical. There
   are no spaces/line breaks that shouldn’t be there.
