Description
I've got the error below upon a fresh install of WP 2.7:
Fatal error: Cannot unset string offsets in /home/thekage/public_html/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 621
The blog actually worked before I logged into the admin area, so now neither the blog nor the admin area works.

I now get this:
Fatal error: Cannot unset string offsets in /home/thekage/public_html/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 622
Also, before the error above, I've also noticed this error appear after I tried reinstalling:
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /home/thekage/public_html/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 116

Turned out to be a problem with server-side Magic Quotes.

Did you fix the issue or turn of magic quotes?
The reality is that al lot of cheap hosts have magic quotes turned on, so i think this should be fixed anyway.
http://www.php.net/stripslashes anyone?
I think the problem is installation related, the installer behaved strangely, but finished after making a config file myself.
After installing the above error occurred.
Why i think it is the installer? because it worked for me after I copied the database from a working WP install.
So a possible workaround is to install on a local server and copy the database over to the server.

(in case it might be the issue)
(In [10314]) Default to empty array if sidebars_widgets is not set. Don't unset array_version if not set. fixes #8804 for trunk
