Table 'forum1.livesettings_setting' doesn't exist". This tells that the database is not properly initialized. Missing tables usually suggest that "syncdb" or "migrate" failed (syncdb in this case.)

This may be happening for a variety of reasons: 1) missing library dependencies; 2) unreachable cache; 3) the database you are using is poorly supported (very possibly - we still have bugs with MySQL, we use and recommend PostgreSQL for the production).

For example you might have configured Askbot to use Redis cache, but redis server is unreachable. In that case you will have errors like "Startup error, couldn't load EXTERNAL_KEYS.RECAPTCHA_SECRET".

Failing cache might cause syncdb to fail.
