"Error: Found unconstructed IntlDateFormatter" when authenticate (and "An unexpected error occurred." on non-authenticated navigation)

[aracnus]

I'm using Shaarli on a Debian VPS, Apache 2.4.57-2 and PHP 8.1 (8.1.27-1+020231221.58+debian121.gbp3895b2).

I just upgrade Shaarli to version 0.13.0 and receive a "An unexpected error occurred." error on frontpage, with only one bookmark beeing shown. When I authenticate, error change to "Error: Found unconstructed IntlDateFormatter", with these details:

("my_shaarli_location" is not my real folder)

Any clues on how to fix it?

Hi @aracnus
Where do your PHP packages come from (apt policy php8.1)? Because the current versions on Debian Stable are apache 2.4.57-2 and php 8.2.7-1~deb12u1 (this is the setup I use, by the way).

PHP8.1 is not available in Debian 12 repositories https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/php

Hi @aracnus, can you provide the info requested above?

I'm using Centos 8, but I had the same issue and made this note to myself:

(2022-03-31 Added php-intl to install - didn't automatically add the module)
http://tutorialspots.com/php-how-to-install-intl-module-on-centos-4357.html

It looks like there is a php-intl package on Debian as well.

Hi @kcaran thanks for the additional info. The problem might be related to a missing PHP extension, in which make sure to install all the required extensions https://shaarli.readthedocs.io/en/master/Server-configuration.html#php. The requirement for php-intl has been around for longer than v0.13.0 though, so I'm not sure what exactly is going on on @aracnus's setup. I would try sticking to PHP packages provided by the distribution.

Feel free to reopen with more info.
