XF 1.2 Site Down After Change: An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.

[Joe Link]

I just asked my host to install gettext so I could install sendy for my site, northwestfirearms.com. He said he had to upgrade PHP from 5.4.x to 5.4.x then recompile apache and gettext, though I use litespeed.

After he made the changes the Sendy installer said gettext was functioning properly, but when I just visited the site I'm getting "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.". The odd thing is, my other site, on the same server, with the same exact software, southwestfirearms.com, is up and running fine.

What could this be?

I wanted to add, I get the same error going to admin.php, and when I try to view the page source it only has the one line with "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.".

Hoping @Brogan might have an idea, my phone is blowing up with people telling me the site is down and the host (LiquidWeb) has no idea :/

Accessing your install directory gives this:

I'm no server person but can you take out the apc info in the config file for the time being?

Thanks Russ, I'll see if the host or XenForo team can make sense of that.

Not much to make sense of... just temporarily go into your config.php and put a # in front of all the APC/cache related stuff. Then make sure your host has compiled/configured APC to load in for php (either via the php.ini file or if using php5-fpm then installing the associated PECL).

Removed that portion and the site is back online, thank you @Russ! Now I have more time to figure out what's up with that, plus a clue to investigate.

That's exactly what I did. Thank you for your reply as well

Just tell your host that APC is not installed/configured for the server. They should know what to do.
