PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Your file has been saved as a UTF-8 encoded file and the BOM (Byte Order Mark) characters that your editor placed at the start of the file is the content being output on line 1 of index.php (see the error message) that is preventing the headers from working. Save the file as an ANSI/ASCII file or if you must save it as UTF-8, save it without the BOM characters.
