I've downloaded the latest repair_settings.php from GitHub and the following error welcomes me to fixing my paths:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function database() in C:\xampp\htdocs\sc\forum\repair_settings.php:122 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\sc\forum\repair_settings.php(37): action_show_settings() #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\sc\forum\repair_settings.php on line 122
I know that I can fix the paths myself, but what if someone's forum needs fixing paths and the tool itself isn't working.
Line 122:
$db = database();
The connection to database is working (the forum loads and operates fine, localhost xampp). There is no password for the database user, perhaps that's an issue with addition to localhost?
I managed to fix it by changing paths in Settings.php to closest as they should look, after that the tool started working and is able to fix all the paths. A little weird though that it wouldn't work straight out of the box.
