Running setup-config.php?step=2 (no wp-config.php) produces a 'Headers already sent' error

Description

Running the install script with wp-config.php not present, setup-config.php properly detects the missing file, and offers to create one. After filling in the necessary entries for hostname, user, password, database, and "submit"ing the data, setup-config.php fails at step 2 with this error.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /storage/Debian/wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php:22) in /storage/Debian/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 308

This error is present in a 'clean' install of 2.0.1 and has been 'worked around' by commenting the following lines:

header( 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
<h1 id="logo"><img alt="WordPress" src="http://static.wordpress.org/logo.png" /></h1>

Just looking again and see the header is declared twice:

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
echo <<<HEAD
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3CDTD XHTML 1.0 TransitionalEN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>

<title>SkratchPad &rsaquo; Error</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<style media="screen" type="text/css">

Yes, it's normal to both send an HTTP header and have said header in an HTML meta tag.

Try that for size.

Fixed for me. Patch worked fine.

  • Resolution worksforme deleted
  • Status changed from closed to reopened

Thanks for your eagerness, but "worksforme" is for closing tickets that don't appear to be valid, i.e. no-one can replicate them. People tend to write patches then upload them onto bugs, which then eventually filter through into the core. When that is done (once the proposed code moves into the core), we then close the bug.

Sorry about the confusion.

On the other hand, now we've got verification, I'll push it for commit.

Not to worry at all, it does seem to work.

Afraid I'm pretty new to SVN so still finding my feet. I'll see if the codex has any info I can read up on the process on here. Thanks for the help.

Allow me to explain the bug process.

1) User finds a bug
2) User asks around to make sure it's actually a bug, perhaps posts to the testers list
3) User makes a ticket on trac (this site, trac.wordpress.org)
4) Various code monkeys find the ticket, test it does actually exist
5) Someone writes a patch
6) That person uploads the patch using the 'Attach file' button
7) Someone else verifies the patch works
8) A committor (one of Matt Mullenweg or Ryan Boren) comes along and 'commits' the patch: changes the core code in our svn repository to include the patch that someone coded back in stage 5.
9) Bug is closed with 'fixed'.

That was horribly formatted, let me try again.

  1. User finds a bug
  2. User asks around to make sure it's actually a bug, perhaps posts to the testers list
  3. User makes a ticket on trac (this site, trac.wordpress.org)
  4. Various code monkeys find the ticket, test it does actually exist
  5. Someone writes a patch
  6. That person uploads the patch using the 'Attach file' button
  7. Someone else verifies the patch works
  8. A committor (one of Matt Mullenweg or Ryan Boren) comes along and 'commits' the patch: changes the core code in our svn repository to include the patch that someone coded back in stage 5.
  9. Bug is closed with 'fixed'.
