# Migrating from linux to windows, path errors?

 * I recently installed wp 4.3.1 in a linux shared hosting environment. I am attempting
   to migrate it to a windows 2012 shared hosting environment. I restored the database(
   mysql) and altered the db name, server name, user name, and password in the wp-
   config.php file. When I attempt to launch the site I get the errors below. The
   errors mention the settings file, I didn’t mod that and expect I don’t need to.
   Is for example line 21 the first non-rem’d line, and not strict line count? It’s
   not a multisite installation or anything complex like that. I would appreciate
   help with this issue.
