Fresh Install

[Deleted member 745]

Hi,

I did a fresh upload of XF and when I went to install it I get this, any ideas? I installed it on a DirectAdmin VPS with APC enabled.

Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0

Unfortunately that's a nightmarish error to debug. Sometimes it means an exception was thrown during shut down.

What URL do you get it on specifically?

I get it when I go here : http://offtopicdiscussions.net/ or here : http://offtopicdiscussions.net/install/

When I disable APC using .htaccess that seems to fix it, if thats any help... But I would like to use APC if possible.

Try restarting apache in case it's something in your cache, otherwise update php (you seem to have a very old version) and/or apc

PHP itself, by over 4 years

How about PHP 5.3 is that bug free now, which one 5.3.6 or 5.3.8?

Latest version of PHP is fine - but if you are planning to write code and later distribute, then you might want to stick to PHP 5.2.4 - that being the lowest common denominator that xf requires. Otherwise you run the risk of implementing a function that is not in those earlier versions.

No I dont write addons, so the newest should be fine then?

I see no reason why not as the installation instructions for XF only stipulate a minimum version level.
