Hi,

I've just finished to install Akeebabackup for Wordpress and I get this error:
Service definition is not a Closure or invokable object.

I've read a ticket from a user who had the same problem but you said it was probably because of Wordpress Version.

I have Akeebabackup for Wrodpress in another domain in the same server and I don't have this problem. I've already uninstalled the plugin and reinstall but I always get the same error.

The fist time I've installed the plugin, just after activating it I was presented with a Internal error page and after refreshing it I would get Service definition is not a Closure or invokable object.

Please open the file wp-content/plugins/akeebabackupwp/helpers/defines.php with a text editor. Find the line reading:
// define('AKEEBADEBUG', 1);

and remove the two slashes in front so that it reads:
define('AKEEBADEBUG', 1);

Save and close the file and retry loading Akeeba Backup. It will now come with a much more detailed error message. Please copy it and paste it here verbatim. Do not give me a screenshot, I can't use it. Do not skip any lines, I won't be able to use it. I need the complete backtrace included in the error page which will allow me to understand where this is is coming from and let me make an educated guess why it happens.

Hi,

I think it was a problem with my server, I've installed the site on another server and everything is working fine now.

Thank you for your help.

You're welcome! That was my guess, too. The instructions would only allow me to be sure before telling you that your server configuration is off. For what it's worth, if you have a PHP code cache installed you need to reset it after installing or updating any plugin on your site.

I do have a cache in place indeed. Thank you very much for letting me know, this will probably solve me many headaches in the future :)
