 * i’ve setup a MS wordpress before, but this time its not working at all, i’ve 
   followed all the instructions, first i add
 * >  define (‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
 * to wp-config.php
 * go to the network and install subdir,
    create the blogs.dir and add it
 * add the codes to the htaccess, no problems there
 * but when i try to add
 * >  define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
   >  define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false ); $base 
   > = ‘/’; define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘topplacetovisit.info’ ); define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’,‘/’);
   > define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 ); define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
 * to wp-config.php, i cant get past this error:
 * >  Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output
   > started at /home/topplace/public_html/wp-config.php:1) in /home/topplace/public_html/
   > wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 890
 * i’ve repeated this a billion times, i cant get past this error, i know this error
   means theres extra space, but didnt make and modifications pluggable.php line
   890, so why does this happen?

 * Check for extra spaces in the WP-config file.

 * theres nothing before
    <?php on line one
 * and no spaces after
    require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
 * at the end, any other ideas?

 * If you haven’t added anything, I’d trash it, totally, get a fresh download from
   wordpress.org, and try again. Somehow you got a stray space in there.

 * hmph.. ya i repeated the process more times then i can count as soon as i get
   to the step to add
 * define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
    define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false ); $base = ‘/’;
   define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘topplacetovisit.info’ ); define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’,‘/’);
   define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 ); define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
 * i get the error, then if i undo it, it goes away.

 * Where in the wp-config file are you pasting this in? In the middle?

 * This may be sod-all, but … can you do it in NotePad? I wonder if the file is 
   being saved wonkily. That’s a technical term.
