You can’t use those in code. It will break things. You need to use straight quotes, like this: * `define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');` * Are you editing this is a word processor? * Thread Starter [tky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tky/) * (@tky) * [14 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-configphp-errors/#post-2090835) * thanks for reply and sorry for delay. i am using notepad and changed to normal quotes like your example but I am still stuck on this admin page loop. i click login and it just brings up the same page again. it is very strange. it now does not bring me to all the errors listed above it just keep me in this loop! * Thread Starter [tky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tky/) * (@tky) * [14 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-configphp-errors/#post-2090840) * the header errors i have fixed. thanks esmi.

So far I have done the following. 1. Let the software create the config.php file This didnt work 3. Deleted everything and re-installed in a different directory. 2. Create the file myself. This didnt work * This is literally driving me insane. If anyone can help with this ‘5 min’ install I would be so gratefull. * Thanks!!
