also the cache is enabled looking for disable it from mysql and compilation is enabled too and admin is not opening :'(

Any body having any idea.

Answer 1

Just rename the directory

./app/code/community/Fishpig -> ./app/code/community/Fishpig.bak

That will disable it outright.

Disabling the module via the admin, or via ./app/etc/modules doesn't always work if another class extends that class anyway.

You can disable the cache by removing the ./var/cache directory (or by restarting Memcache/Redis/APC if you use them)

You can disable compiler by commenting out the include $compilerConfig line in index.php

Answer 2

You can disable the cache via the command line using MageTool an addon for the Zend Framework command line application.

[ ~ ] $ zf | grep cache
zf clear mage-core-cache tags[=all]
zf flush mage-core-cache
zf enable mage-core-cache tags[=all]
zf disable mage-core-cache tags[=all]

To disable the cache on your site use the following command inside the directory that contains your magento app folder (Magento Root Directory)

zf disable mage-core-cache tags=all

To install the zf cli and the magetool, visit https://github.com/alistairstead/MageTool for more instructions

If you use disk-based caching you can clear the var/cache/ directory from your Magento root.
