Parse error after editing wp-config.php for Domain Mapping plugin

I followed the install instructions with the plugin – uncommenting Sunrise. After uploading the wp-config.php i got this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/wwwbeat/public_html/wp-config.php on line 1

I tried undoing what I did and re-uploading the wp-config.php file and I still get the error. Please help I’ve been configuring for two days and don’t want to start all over with a new install.

    Hiya,

    PLEASE HELP!

    Typing in all caps is the equivalent of yelling. That is most definitely not required here as we’re trying to help you.

    The WPMU forums and the wp-config.php itself say not to edit the file.

    It’s perfectly acceptable to edit wp-config.php for things like uncommenting sunrise.php. Ask any WP or WPMU developer.

    Is there a fix for my issue or do I need to give up and reinstall?

    Copy/paste (or attach as a text file) your wp-config.php contents with the db details and security keys masked (replace the username, password, and keys with *******). We’ll have a look and see if we can spot your problem.

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    just wanted to be noticed

    Cool. It’s not necessary though.

    Unfortunately I’m not seeing anything out of place in your wp-config.php. Is there by chance a blank line before ‘<?php’ ?

    ‘<?php’ (without the quotes) needs to be the first line.

    Thanks,

    Andrew
