Anchor Failing to display main site upon completion of installation

[agottschling]

Summary

As soon as I finish the installation, and click on the button to either visit the admin panel, or the site, it crashes with the following error:

Something went wrong, please notify the owner of the site

Call to undefined method Error::log()
The error has been logged in /anchor/errors.log
Uncaught Exception

Call to undefined method Error::log()

Origin

anchor/run.php on line 50

Trace

#0 /var/www/html/blog.andrewgottschling.me/system/start.php(26): require()
#1 /var/www/html/blog.andrewgottschling.me/index.php(35): require('/var/www/html/b...')
#2 {main}

Expected Behaviour

• The site or admin panel should display

Actual Behaviour

• The page crashes and displays a stack trace

Context details (if applicable)

• Anchor version:0.12.1
• Server setup:Ubuntu 16.04.2, latest apache, php7
• URL: http://blog.andrewgottschling.me

EDIT:

This seems to be the same error as #1111 and #1163, but I didn't want to coremod the installation, and php-pear is up to date according to apt

Any updates? @daviddarnes

[daviddarnes]

@agottschling afraid not from me, this may me more @CraigChilds94 or @TheBrenny's area?

I am facing the same issue but only on one hosting. The other one is fine.

[daviddarnes]

@adinafxv interesting, do they have different php versions?

[adinafxv]

@daviddarnes they are both PHP 7. I've contacted provider of hosting that gives me this error, so hopefully I'll get some help or at least info what's the problem there. I will definitely share.

[adinafxv]

@daviddarnes I am back with the info: The error was caused in database MySQL 5.7., when moved to MySQL 5.6 it works fine now.
I asked about details of error in MySQL 5.7 and they said that there was "MySQL query while (there was) incorrect usage of NULL at column which was "date type". I dont understand, but maybe it can help.

I am seeing the same error here - PHP7 with Mysql 5.7

Replaced Mysql with Maria 10.0.29 and all is good!

I also confirm the bug with mysql

In the database anchor_comments is completely empty, for example pages is ok, comments is empty

this is a duplicate of #1178

I've got quite a bit to say, so brace yourselves...

First off, I'd like to take the time to say cheers for reporting the issues that you're having, and, from the team, apologies for not promptly fixing them. As you can appreciate, Anchor isn't a full-time job so we heavily rely on the community to contribute code where they can. But thank you, once again for pointing these issues out.

On a note of pointing issues out, there's more than one that's been identified on this thread, and likely already been reported (one stack trace is reporting a call to an undefined method, and the other is calling a bad SQL query). It would be best to add a comment onto the relevant issue in very much the same way that a new issue is created - with an emphasis on steps to reproduce, and server configuration (including anchor version and where you sourced it from).

@adinafxv & @zopar, cheers! That'll help us identify and resolve AN issue.

@agottschling, if you could try the latest commit to the master branch; just download the zip from GitHub, and tell me if it changes the issue.

Once again, apologies for the delay.
