After pushing Wordpress to live recently, I found that I couldn't load the site (Error 500).
Eventually I noticed that the error log was writing a new line each time I attempted to load the site. It was referring to a syntax error in wp-config.php. That turned out to be a red herring, since there was no syntax error, but there was a problem with the file.
After an exhaustive comparison between the version of the file on the source and destination, I noticed that the "define('DB_PASSWORD'" line was subtly different!
Q{SRKcon$4.@
Q{SRKcon'.@
The source PW is on the top and the destination PW is on the bottom. What it did was replace:
$4
with:
'
Which is very, very, very weird. And it will totally break your site.
