Settings.php file error

I don’t think you can login using the cms, (because it is trying to use the http platform which is broken). I need to ssh through a terminal and then get to the command line on the pi. Using Linux, this is very easy, but if you have a windows system then I think it is through putty?. Once into the pi, just cd to the /var/www/emoncms directory which is where these files are.
