repair_settings.php no longer works?

Hi,

I've been trying to fix my forum using this tool, but for some reason, it's not loading. I navigate to the URL and nothing happens - blank page. Am I doing something wrong?

Dumb question: are the file permissions set correctly on repair_settings.php?

Hmm..mm I didn't specifically set the permissions, but what I see here is 0644. Should it be something else?

It depends on the particular OS setup. Try 755, or even 777. If that doesn't work try increasing php.ini memory_limit setting. Go for 30M, maybe higher temporarily. Don't forget to restart php.

Thanks so much. I just took the plunge and wiped out completely, then started all over. Not sure why repair wasn't showing up for me - perhaps one of your suggestions might have helped. But I'd gone ahead and pulled the nuclear trigger before seeing your last response.

Thanks again for your help. :pray:
