I get the error 500.

http://attinger.ch/kiwitrees/setup.php

Any idee???

You need to contact your web host and request them to install the APC extension for PHP.
It is commonly part of a default server setup, but it seems not for your web host.

It is also possible you are using PHP 8 on your server. Kiwitrees is not (yet) compatible with PHP 8. So reverting to PHP 7 mIght also solve the problem.

Hi Nigel, we tried everthing, but it is still not working. I got a screenshot from the provider as well as this info: http://attinger.ch/kiwitrees/phpinfo.php. The APC extension is activated.

It doesen’t work with 7.1, 7,2, 7.3 und 7.4. So, that seems not to be the problem. Any idea?

I also tried version 3.3.8. But the same mistake.

Try Disabling APC. It isn’t absolutely necessary, as kiwitrees will create it’s own cache if APC is not active.

It looks like the problem is that your server has the newer APCu, rather than the APC expected. Easier to have neither.

If it helps, here is a link to my own PHP info. It’s still running PHP 7.3, but 7.4 works just as well.

Hi Nigel, I gave your infos to my provider. Lets see what they will say.

But when I startet this thread APC wasn’t activeted. Now it is and no change. ;-)What I see is this zhend thing has not the same build number.

But how ever I will write here as soon as I know something.

Yes, it does seem confusing. Perhaps I can explain it better:

When you started, the error message was because kiwitrees found APC existed, but was not active.

Now the error message means that it is active, but it is the new version, called APCu, which replaced APC. Kiwitrees cannot use this version.

But no version of APC is actually necessary for successfully running Kiwitrees. Indeed, it is likely to run better without it.

If your provider cannot help before tomorrow (my time, in New Zealand) I will send you a replacement file to avoid the problem completely. But I need to test it carefully first.

Sorry for these problems, but you are the first person to report such issues in the 10 years+ that kiwitrees has been established.

Sorry for any inconvenience 🙂 Maybe the kiwistrees dont like switzerland 😀 No, kidding.

You dont have to rush. Until monday I will probaly nothing hear from the provider. At the moment I have enough from any installations on the server 😉 Wish you I nice weekend.

No inconvenience.

Attached here is a zip folder. Download it to your computer, then extract the file it contains (“I18N.php”) to your computer,. Then upload that file to the kiwitrees installation on your web server. Put it in the folder “kiwitrees/library/KT/”, replacing the file of the same name that is already there.

You should now be able to complete the setup. It will no longer matter of APC, or APCu exist, or if they are enabled or not.
