Hello, I 'm not an IT-expert but have had some years of experience with php and mysql. Nowadays I 'm not up to date with current developments but was forced to upgrade my wiki (that I installed in 2009) due to an upgrade of PHP on the server on which I hosted the wiki.

The version of Mediawiki I 'm trying to install is 1.24.2, the php-version on the server is 5.6, the software on the server is MariaDB version 5.5.43, the server is Apache/2.2.16 (Debian)...

I get a similar error as posted above. I tried to run the update.php script from a SSH shell (PuTTY) and from the web browser. Both with the same result. I 've contacted the online support of the host but they say they don't support APC (due to security issues) and that i should contact Mediawiki to ask if a manual update is possible. Is there a way around for this? Is it a possibility to upgrade the wiki offline and upload it then to the server or might this still give the same problem? Is APC necessary for the operationallity of an installed wiki? If so, I 'll probably have to move the wiki to another host, right?

Can you help me because i m really at the end of my possibilities here :-/
