 * That’s what I did, but it didn’t work. I contacted my host’s customer service
   and they removed some characters that were not supposed to be in the config-file.
   It works now, but I still think it’s strange that those characters showed up 
   in the first place, since I used wp-config-sample.php to make my own config-file.
