 * Hi Entertainers,
 * I’ve just encountered this problem myself. For me, it happened when I was moving
   my WordPress install from one server to another.
 * There’s more details on the official cforms II support forum:
    [http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-forum/troubleshooting/fatal-error-lib_auxphp-on-line-12/page-1/post-7767/#p7767](http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-forum/troubleshooting/fatal-error-lib_auxphp-on-line-12/page-1/post-7767/#p7767)
 * Here’s what I did to resolve it:
    1. Deactivate the cforms II plugin – I did 
   this by renaming the “/wp-content/plugins/cforms/cforms.php” to something else(
   like “cforms.bak.php”) 2. Delete the “cforms_settings” row from the “wp_options”
   database table. 3. Activiate the cforms II plugin … and re-enter the forms config.
 * Hope this helps!
 * Cheers,
    – Lee
