Getting this error message: dbModel read resource does not implement Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract
After I put the right database connection I also changed this line:
<disable_local_modules>false</disable_local_modules>
into this
<disable_local_modules>true</disable_local_modules>
I gave recursively the 777 permission to the var folder using this command:
chmod -R 777 var
in my case
rm -rf var/cache/*
solved the issue - i changed my local.xml to a symlink though
in my case I needed just change the permissions of the var folder
chmod -R 777 var
