Thanks joximu you understand my point at least (and by judging the "like" on my post, not the only one).
hempelr if I was such a "dictator" here, a lot of topic would have disappeared since a lot of time 
Useless people posting useless things are not needed here.
Like joximy said, 7 posts, 5 the same day to tell his shit, all of this in 8 min between the first and last post... get the point or not ?
Ok, you spam this enough no ?
One more and ban...
or just use the compiled version instead of trying again and again to compile itself (and waste more time), just saying...
If this is a new domain, wait for DNS propagation (which seems to be your issue there, if we look at the logs)
Hum.... will try to do a "Nuxwin" like answer... (well, will not be at all)
So you ask for help but doesn't care of the answer ?
Worst, you prefer to run a version which is behind 21 releases prior the latest one (where in those, there are 11 marked as "security" updates).
7.4.7 was released on 11th of June... 2020.
Well, you still seems to use pretty old released like the 5.3/5.6, so maybe you like the risk of it after all.
Latest release in the 7.4.x branch is the build 28, out on 17th February of this year.
Latest security update for this specific branch will get over at the end of November 2022 (more or less, 8 months).
On my own experience, keeping really old site is never a good idea, but at the end, everyone choose what they want, and accept the risk of it, I guess...
Use the packaged version, don't try to build your own.
Doing so, you'll just get a lot of headache.
To know how to use the packaged version, read the doc... (an create your own post if you still have issue, following the posting rules).
1 : I don't know where you found that link
2 : The "recent" updates as you said is the unstable release, not meant for production (as there might be unknown bugs in it).
3 : The download link are displayed there, top right corner... No new stable releases since 2018 (but an updated version should be out "soon" to support newer OS version and PHP)
Not a perfect solution, but if all the IPs are from countries you don't work with (or your customers), block the whole country 😅
I believe that this has been fixed by now.
The repository did some kind of rollback and a "lot" of apcu package are back.
I think it's pretty clear : The donation was there to help him in the development of the new version.
The goal was just there because there was a need to have one.
You know, even if that goal was reached, it wouldn't have help to get this new version quicker (he still has his work and life at the end) and a donation isn't a constant revenue so he can't work on it as a full time job.
This was a DONATION, not a "pledge of donation", so I don't see a clue to get a "refund" on that one.
