I came across a frustrating bug today that has a pretty simple solution. I had an installation of WordPress that had been created by Fantastico. I needed to modify wp-config.php, but once I saved it back to the server WordPress just refused to start. It returned the following error:
Call to undefined function: wp() in wp-blog-header.php
Anyway, I tried a number of different things to resolve the issue and almost ended up tearing my hair out, but in the end I managed to resolve it. Turns out that the line endings in the wp-config.php file created by Fanstastico aren’t standard CR/LFs. When I opened the file up in Notepad2, my text editor of choice, they appeared to me “Mac-type” line terminations. Setting these to normal CR/LFs and deleting any extra lines at the end of the file resolved the issue.

This is what I see on my wp-config.php
Does that make sense? Do I need all of this?
