After searching on google, I have found that clearing cache will solve the problem . But even after clearing my cache,it remains the same !

Answer 1

Generally these errors occurred when you call a region in your page.tpl.php file that doesn't exist in the theme's .info file.

In your page.tpl.php:

$page['footer_firstcolumn'];

In your theme's .info:

regions[footer_firstcolumn] = Footer first column

After rechecking all regions, don't forget to flush the cache.
