Can't access admin section after changing DB password

[lidlchris]

I had to change my DB password today and i changed it in 2 places - includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php. My site works fine - http://swordsofhonor.com - but the admin brings up a blank screen. i changed the file and uploaded via ws_ftp and then i also went into the cpanel file manager and edited there - just in case there was something wrong with the file upload via ws_ftp. what could be wrong?

Are there any files generated in your /logs folder?

Also, after editing were both files opened to validate that the changes were saved? (Permissions the file may have prevented saving the change(s) and should be verified to be 644 before making the change and then at highest of 444 after the change to prevent inadvertent modification and for other potential reasons.)

Just dawned on me

Is there any spaces BEFORE the starting <?php in the YOUR_ADMIN/includes/configure.php

using cpanel to edit does weird things

i verfied changes by looking in cpanel/file manager.. permissions is set to 644 - i'll change it back to 444 now

no spaces.. in editing in cpanel, it asks what 'character encoding' to use and the default is utf-8 - i left it to the default of utf-8

yes lots of files...

all of the files are older though..

i take that back... looking in ws_ftp it only showed older files. but in cpanel/file manager there are lots of files today
