You could try downgrading PHP to 5.2, which seems to have fixed the "PHP
Fatal error:  Call to a member function getCacheTime() on a non-object" for
some in the past.  Note that I googled "PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member
function getCacheTime() on a non-object" to learn this and am unsure whether
it's still relevant, but my wiki uses 5.2.14-pl0-gentoo (apache2handler) so
I know it works.

Here are instructions for Linux:
