Disabling maintenance mode
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi all. Can someone give me a SUPER SUPER detailed and basic description of how to manually disable maintenance mode, now that it's on?
I tried to upgrade but was unsuccessful, so I rolled back everything and now all I need to do to re-access my old site, which was working fine, is disable maintenance mode.
Please, explain it as if I were a 5 year old, because when it comes to code, I am.
Thx.

1. Go tohttp://yoursite.com/index.php/login/...
2. Login with your administrator username/password
3. Click "Sitewide Settings" in the left nav
4. Click "Access" in the header bar of the page that loads.
5. Find the maintenance mode section of the page, and make sure that "Disabled" is selected. Then click Save.
That should be all you have to do.
If this doesn't fix the problem, here's how you can manually fix it. This will require access to the web server AND the database.
1. Access your database, either through ssh and using "mysql" from the command line, or through phpMyAdmin if it is installed.
2. When in the database, run this query
update Config set cfValue = 0 where cfKey = 'SITE_MAINTENANCE_MODE';
3. Login to your web server through SFTP or ssh
4. Use an FTP client or your ssh client to remove all the files in files/cache_objects/
This should also disable maintenance mode.
