Disable/Clear the Cache
The Magento front end releases heavily depends on the caching system to provide a faster experience to the customer. This is a wonderful tool, but can wreak havoc during the installation process. To ensure that the cache is not the cause of any problems, we need to turn it off. This can be done from the admin console by navigating to the cache management page, selecting all caches, clicking ‘disable’ from the drop-down menu, and submitting the change. (System > Cache Management)
