Steps to reproduce:

1. Discourse working fine
2. Edit `app.yml`, changing the one line exactly as suggested
3. Run `./launcher rebuild app` (always takes a very long time)
4. Rebuild fails and forum is down.
5. Run `./discourse-doctor`
6. Fails to fix.
7. Restore web site from backup to state before edit of `app.yml` and it’s working again.

I tried it twice but forgot to export the logs/output before restoring the web site so I’ll leave it for now until I have more time if I feel like trying again.
