I decided to activate the cache options in admin/settings/performance tonight to see if it sped things up, and instead I can no longer load any pages at all. I'm pretty sure this is more a wampserver/apache problem but I have no idea how to go about messing with that, so I'd prefer just undoing the cache options. So how do I go about making those changes manually since I can no longer access the performance page? I'm completely stumped.

Thank you for any help.

Please tell me there's a solution for this. There's got to be some way of manually removing those cache settings, right? When someone makes a change on the performance page, what file(s) gets written to?

I have exactly the same issue, tried searching the db for "performance" and "caching" but nothing.

This happened right after turning on all the performance settings.

Now Apache crashes each time I try to access every page.

I desperately need a solution to this - How do I manually set performance settings back to default?

I doubt anyone will help you on this and I could find no solution on my own. What I ended up having to do was prematurely port my local dev site onto my server. Fortunately for me I had just done a backup so I was able to copy over everything to my server and pick up where I left off, once everything was all set up.

using a tool like phpmyadmin access your database, and delete the following rows from your variables table.
- cache
- cache_lifetime
- page_compression
- block_cache
- preprocess_css
- preprocess_js

In addition to that, empty all cache tables.
