Possible Causes of the Error

More than one reason can lead to this error. Some of the possible causes are the following:

File Permission Issues

If Magento 2 does not have the necessary permissions to access your files or the required ownership, it cannot function properly. To know more about file permissions in Magento, refer to our article on "[Fixed] Magento 2: You Don't Have Permission to Access / on this Server”.

Cache Problems

Cache speeds up your site’s performance. Depending on the store size, the cache file might be quite large. This file can be corrupted due to various reasons, leading to the above error.

Database Connectivity Problem

If Magento 2 cannot access your database, it cannot carry out any operations. Based on our experience, store admins often enter the wrong credentials, leading to a breakdown in database connectivity. Other than that, the network problems are the most likely cause of database issues.

Custom Development

If you have done a lot of custom development, chances are that the code is conflicting with one another. In that case, Magento’s functionality will come to a halt.

Miscellaneous Reasons

• Installing new Magento 2 theme or extension
• Updating Magento 2 or extension
• Setting configuration
