It must have been stray characters in wp-config file as you suggesgted. I rebuilt the file from the sample file and it worked. That was the third reconfigure so I must have repeated mu error the second time. I’m up and running Thank you for your input it narrowed down my search.

I used dreamweaver CS3
I will check there though all that I modified in the config.php
I have an idea that I may have left some ” ” marks where I changed username and such
Thanks
