Error 503 – When activating NextGen

    The last months everything was worked fine. Even after the update to WordPress 4.9 I was happy with the gallery plugin.

    Yesterday I again uploaded some pictures and videoas (did not create a gallery) and my site stopped working. I got an error 503. Only when I directly opened articles without a gallery everything looked ok. I also could always login to reach the dashboard as well.

    After deactivating the NextGen plugin the error 503 stopped. I tried to delete and reinstall the plugin.

    But after activating it the error 503 started again. What else could I do?

  • This is probably related to a recent PHP update, the error occurs after updating from PHP 7.0.25 to 7.0.26 or PHP 7.1.11 to 7.1.12. PHP crashes with a segmentation fault, the PHP error log shows the following error messsage:
    [25-Nov-2017 10:35:15 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Couldn't execute method C_Display_Type::__get in Unknown on line 0

    This could be a bug in PHP or NextGen, a temporary solution would be to switch to an older PHP version like 5.6 until the issue is resolved.

    Could be. But why did it happen yesterday. There was no php update in the last week and everything worked fine in that time.

    I will try to switch to an older php version to check if it will help. Unfortunatelly I haven’t done that before. I hope I wont crash my whole site ;-(

    I changed to php 7.0 and the error changed (but the plugin still doesn’t work).

    Now I don’t get the error 503 when I open my site. I sometimes get the error, when I open an article – even if there is no gallery in this article (only a video).
    Sometimes I get the error 503 when I open certain sites like my dashboard. After reloading that page it works fine. These error don’t occure, when I deactivate the NextGEN plugin.

    When I try to look at my galleries all the pictures are still there but I can’t choose a layout. The popup window of NextGen shows the following error messages:
    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/XXXXX/html/indienblog/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_album/package.module.nextgen_basic_album.php on line 838

    When I try to open the article I can read: We can not display this gallery.

    I tried again to reinstall NextGen. It didn’t change anything.

    You should try PHP 5.6. PHP 7.1.12 was released yesterday and 7.0.26 the day before, I updated both versions yesterday and noticed the same 503 error that you described with both versions. PHP 5.6 should work fine, it’s just a little slower.

    It is working “fine” now. I had to refresh some galleries in different articles but after that I don’t see any errors (,yet).

    Changing to php 5.6 did help, however I want to change to 7.1 in a forseeable time. Hope that the plugin will get an update soon. Otherwise I have to change the plugin.

    Thanks for the great help!

    @indienaustausch – We’re not seeing any concerns with PHP 7.1.12 at this time although we are still in testing.

    – Cais.

    Same here – error 503 with PHP 7.1.12 and 7.0.26, everything fine with PHP 5.6.32

    Could be a bug in OpCache: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75579

    Same Problem here, the downgrade to PHP 5.6 fixed it. @tobias1979 I use W3 Total Cache.
