Could not initiate the registry


This error occurs when the settings cache in the registry is unreadable. This can happen after a sql_charset change, a database move, or a crashed cache_store table.

The full error is

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Could not initiate the registry, the settings cache is empty or missing' in \admin\sources\base\ipsRegistry.php:1631 Stack trace: #0 \admin\sources\base\ipsRegistry.php(498): ipsRegistry->setUpSettings() #1 \admin\sources\base\ipsController.php(75): ipsRegistry::init() #2 \admin\sources\base\ipsController.php(62): ipsController->init() #3 \index.php(24): ipsController::run() #4 {main} thrown in \admin\sources\base\ipsRegistry.php on line 1631

If you get that error, you will need to upload the "upgradeFinish" folder from the Tools folder of your IPB distribution package to the /admin directory.

Then run

http://www.yoursite.com/admin/upgradeFinish/index.php

That will rebuild the settings cache and bring the forum back up.

[docwarning]Be sure to delete the upgradeFinish directory after you have finished running.[/docwarning]
