errors - Notice: Constant already defined in wp-config.php on (non-existent) line?

I've been tasked to move a website into a new domain, and I've encontered this weird issue.
On the homepage, I always see these:

Notice: Constant AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL already defined in /home/gturnat/public_html/wp-config.php on line 99

Notice: Constant WP_POST_REVISIONS already defined in /home/gturnat/public_html/wp-config.php on line 100

---

What I have tried:

• Notice: Constant WP_POST_REVISIONS already defined suggests commenting the constants on default-constants.php, but it doesn't work.
• Settings display_errors to 0, '0' or 'Off' does nothing.
• Running error_reporting(0) will still display the errors.
• Creating a mu-plugin (As suggested on How can I stop PHP notices from appearing in wordpress?).
  Nothing happens and the plugin isn't even loaded.
  The errors still keep showing up.
• Tried to comment out the lines in wp-config.php, but didn't work. The notices are still there.
• Removed the lines entirelly and moved them around wp-config.php, but the warnings insist it is on line 99 and 100.
  Causing a syntax error inside wp-config.php does lead to an error being logged, which means that the file isn't cached.
• Tried to enable and disable the debug mode, set display_errors to false, 0, '0' and 'Off', but doesn't work.
• Ran grep -1R WP_POST_REVISIONS * and grep -1R AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL * with the following result:

  root@webtest:# grep -lR WP_POST_REVISIONS *
  wp-config.php
  wp-includes/default-constants.php
  wp-includes/revision.php
  root@webtest:# grep -lR AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL *
  wp-config.php
  wp-includes/script-loader.php
  wp-includes/default-constants.php
  wp-includes/class-wp-customize-manager.php

I really am out of any other idea to try.

I'm using Wordpress 4.7.2, running on PHP 5.4 with the following modules loaded:

There is no op-cache working in the server. Just those options.

PHP was configured with the following options:

As a testing point, I tried to run it on PHP 5.6, with the same results, with the following modules:

• Maybe the error was there all the time in the prior server/domain -- but the level of PHP error reporting is set differently now on the new server. Sometimes you have to decide if you are going to fight it or bury it...at least to get the site running so you can continue to debug elsewhere. – C C Commented Feb 22, 2017 at 13:04
• @CC Honestly, I just want to bury it. I can dig through, but I have no idea where to dig. – Ismael Miguel Commented Feb 22, 2017 at 15:13
• Do a find in files in the entire directory for AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL, obviously something else is defining it. Also, comment out an essential constant like DB_NAME, see if the site is still working. It's possible that you are modifying the wrong wp-config.php file. – Fayaz Commented Feb 22, 2017 at 16:52
• @Fayaz Way ahead of you. The "find in files" was already done (last point in the list) and I even ran find ./ | grep wp-config and there's only 2. The other one is the sample. I've even traced the files, from the index.php to the wp-config.php. – Ismael Miguel Commented Feb 22, 2017 at 17:22

If you do not have any plugin that manipulates those definitions, this is most likely cause by having the two constants defined below the line in the config.php that says

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

The relatively high line numbers support this idea.

tl;dr: Clear your (Comet) Cache!

Long answer:

I only have 2 words: Comet Cache!

Comet Cache was enabled.
Checking the source code showed me a note like this, after the closing </html>:

Manually deleting /cache/comet-cache/cache/http/<my-domain>/index.html (path relative to your /wp-content/ directory) solved the issue.

I feel so stupid for assuming that there was no caching going on. Always blame the cache!
