I'm trying to enable the cache in magento that stopped overnight. When I turn shows success message but not active.

I tried to activate programmatically and with mysql but without success.
I also tried to disable and then enable.

I had this error today.
I cleared cache, checked log files, made sure I'm using the right database and all.
After searching for an hour I got the issue. There was another xml file named "local1.xml" lying in app/etc folder. I deleted it, and everything came back to normal.
Hope this helps someone, someday.
thats a caching issue...
try to clear all your caches after enabling them.
If this does not work, try to clear your cache provider (filesystem, memcache, whatever you use)
Good luck
local.xml(if any defined). You can also quickly disable the local codepool. Also a server stack details and cache tags in local.xml. Turning on developer mode inindex.phpas well aserror_reportingmay shed some light as well. – B00MER Apr 23 '14 at 11:05
