Windows azure cache error - “Cache referred to does not exist. Contact administrator or use the Cache administration tool to create a Cache.”

Question

I have one application on Windows Azure cloud and I'm using Windows Azure Co-Located Cache.

Some times, when I publish the website/webservice, this error appears when I call the DataCacheFactory.GetCache method:

Cache referred to does not exist. Contact administrator or use the Cache administration tool to create a Cache.

This problem can go away after few moments, but some times it never fix, then I need to publish projects again.

The stacktrace is:

Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCache.ThrowException(ErrStatus errStatus, Guid trackingId, Exception responseException, Byte[][] payload,
 EndpointID destination)     at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheFactory.EstablishConnection(IEnumerable`1 servers, RequestBody request, Func`3 
sendMessageDelegate, DataCacheReadyRetryPolicy retryPolicy)     at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.SocketClientProtocol.Initialize(IEnumerable`1 servers)     
at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheFactory.GetCache(String cacheName, CreateNewCacheDelegate cacheCreationDelegate, 
DataCacheInitializationViaCopyDelegate initializeDelegate)

See this link whether it can help you...

we were missing the required blob storage container on local devstorage. After creating the following container : 'cacheclusterconfigs' everything seems to be working now

'cacheclusterconfigs' container will be created by the service internally.you may accidentally deleted that.

Note: IMO please verify the cache name. By default you will be using the cache named 'default'.
