Front controller reached 100 router match iterations

[pablo_williams]

As of today , all Magento sites down.

Shows this error below 

Honestly, Magento has so many problems and constantly crashes. Why not just use Shopify , Volusion so they can give you near 100% uptime instead of having to manage Magento on your own server and deal with issue after issue after issue....

Front controller reached 100 router match iterations

Hello @pablo_williams,

It seems you were experiencing a Magento configuration bug. 

I overrode Mage_Core_Model_Config forforced when $_useCache = false generating the config. This fix is validated by the replication script/phpunit tests above, and completely stopped this bug from occurring in our instances.

/**
 * Initialization of core configuration
 *
 * @return Mage_Core_Model_Config
 */
public function init($options=array())
{
    $this->setCacheChecksum(null);
    $this->_cacheLoadedSections = array();
    $this->setOptions($options);
    $this->loadBase();

    $cacheLoad = $this->loadModulesCache();
    if ($cacheLoad) {
        return $this;
    }
    //100 Router Fix Start
    $this->_useCache = false;
    //100 Router Fix End
    $this->loadModules();
    $this->loadDb();
    $this->saveCache();
    return $this;
}

It would be naive of me to believe that this will completely solve the issue for everyone's Magento setup. If it does not work for you then I recommend you

1. Implement the logic mentioned in the Debugging the Issue section.
2. Wait for some log data to appear.
