PHP upgrade

    I am working on gfmd.info and the hosting platform is migrating its php
    version to php7 in the end but phase out 5.3 and 5.4 and I have to
    upgrade it for newscoop running on gfmd.info. When I change the php
    settings and restart the server I get a white page back and nothing
    there. I guess it is a cache thing but it could be something else, so I
    switched back the php version and the is working again. Could you tell
    me if this is caching or could there be another problem?

    Kind regards,
    Hapee

    Hi Andrey,

    thanks for your answer. Greenhost will keep 5.6 for some time as well and sorry for being not clear the empty page was showing up when I upgraded to 5.6 so the question is still relevant.

    Will newscoop never be compatible with php7?

    clear cache folder

    thanks, it is not the cache but it is:
    PHP Fatal
    error: Call to undefined function Doctrine\\Common\\Cache\\apc_fetch()
    in
    /domains/gfmd.info/DEFAULT/vendor/doctrine/cache/lib/Doctrine/Common/Cache/ApcCache.php
    on line 40


    any suggestion?

    another solution: disable APC in Configure/System Prefernces/Cache Settings/Database Cache Engine
