While upgrading Magento from 1.7 to 1.8 version, this error generally appears and stops the site from loading.
We can get rid of this error simply by clearing the cache:
rm -rf var/cache/*If you don’t have terminal access, clear all the contents of var/cache/ directory.
Further if you have memcached or other caching system installed, flush them as well.
