I’ve been running TT RSS for over a year and it’s been excellent. No issues. But I’ve now broken it and need some help.
I updated PHP to 7.2 to support another application on my server and then discovered it broke TT RSS and I now have the error with the startup failed message
> Startup failed
> Tiny Tiny RSS was unable to start properly. This usually means a misconfiguration or an incomplete upgrade. Please fix errors indicated by the following messages:

I’ve read through the forums, reverted back to PHP 7.0 and have tried to running “update.php --decrypt-feeds and then set FEED_CRYPT_KEY to an empty string.” As outlined in the FAQ’s
I’ve tried this via browser url and via console in phpMyAdmin. I’m struggling to invoke this > --decrypt-feeds and then set FEED_CRYPT_KEY to an empty string.
I’d really appreciate a layman’s guide in simple terms how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance
