Fatal error on Settings after installation 0.9.6

I tried installing this module (W3TC 0.9.6 using WP 4.9.1) and read the entire set of installation instructions provided on your plugin page including permissions changes. After activating I can’t load any of the settings tabs. I’m clicking the Settings link after activating and it seems to be loading Generic FAQ. Navigating to the frontend of the site and clicking the dashboard link in my admin bar yields the same error. Here’s a stack trace:

`

I noticed lots of changes to the filesystem. The htaccess has all the W3TC updates, the advanced-cache.php file exits, the plugin is there, the cache folder, the config folder.

Visitor page loads are not affected. The plugin does seem to be activated in basic mode. Although not much aggregation occurs, I see the HTML comment noting that the page was optimized by the plugin.
