Hello,

I got the same issue when trying to visit the Charts configuration page, with OpenFlashCharts 2 API installed and activated.
Then i tried again, with the Google Charts module activated, and it worked.

Regards

EDIT : in fact, i can now access the Charts configuration page as it uses the default google chats module, but i still get the same error message when trying to use OpenFlash Charts.

This is because the 'Charts' module is dependent on the 'Open Flash Charts API' module and you have installed the 'Open Flash Charts 2 API' module. It's an honest mistake as both modules are (foolishly) called 'open_flash_charts_api' in their machine name so 'Charts' thinks it is depending on the right module.

Here's an article I found on the various charting methods in Drupal. It helped me understand this problem:
