    From my understanding this is caused by cache, are you sure it's cleared? How did you clear it?

  • I used Cache Management under System - Flush Magento Cache and Flush Cache Storage. Is there a way to check if the cache has been flushed?

  • Assuming your using file based cache, check there is something inside the var/cache directory, if there is, delete everything in the folder.

  • Tried that, still getting errors. At the very top of the screen there is also a reference to Linux sitename 3.8.0-41-generic #60~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 16 00:18:00 UTC 2014 x86_64 Thank you for your quick answers and your help!

Reset to default

This error arriving due to empty values in registry.

to prevent it, you need to disable 'compilation' mode, and if you want to use it, re run it.

php -f shell/compiler.php disable
php -f shell/compiler.php clear
php -f shell/compiler.php compile

  • Abhishek you are my hero! This post fixed a problem I've spent hours at with similar error to above post. Compiling from admin panel causing error. But running from command line worked fine :)

Check if your event observer xml code in your module's config.xml is all correct.

It should be something like this:

<events>
    <event_name_that_you_are_working_on>
        <observers>
            <some_unique_identifier>
                <type>singleton</type>
                <class>YourNamespace_YourModule_Model_Observer</class>
                <method>functionNameInYourObserver</method>
            </some_unique_identifier>
        </observers>
    </event_name_that_you_are_working_on>
</events>

I once got this kind of error because I was using modulename/observer inside class node. Using full class name (YourNamespace_YourModule_Model_Observer) solved the error for me.

In your module's event-observer xml code, you might be using class like below:

<class>yourmodule/observer</class>

Try using this instead (as done in above event-observer xml code):

<class>YourNamespace_YourModule_Model_Observer</class>

  1. Disable the extension from app\etc\moduels directory.
  2. Clear cache and
  3. Run Compilation.

Now, it will works fine.

First Disable Compilation and cache.

And Clear all cache forcefully.

Then install Extension.

After that Run Compilation process.

Above process worked for me.

To disable compilation in Magento, edit includes/config.php. At around line 28, uncomment the first line and comment out the second:

#define('COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'src');
define('COMPILER_COLLECT_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'stat');
