How do I turn off maintenance mode?

Hi,

I have emptied the OSQA/cache folder. But I still see the forum in maintenance mode.

As i am using the built in db, is there a way to change the default OSQA/db/osqa.db ? to change the maintenance_mode key?

Is there something that prevents you to go to the administration, select "Maintenance mode" from the tools navigation and turn it off? Let me know if something does prevent you and I'll tell you how to turn it off using the management console.

hi, I was moving my site from one server to another. So before i moved, i put the site into maintenance mode. Then copied the db to the new server. The new server is in AWS. Now it is still showing the maintenance mode (of course). But I am not sure how to turn it back.

Navigate to your OSQA installation directory then do the following:

Run: python manage.py shell
from forum import settings
settings.MAINTAINANCE_MODE.set_value(None)

Hi Jordan, When I run the 1st command I get the following error.

[root@ip-10-243-2-97 OSQA]# python manage.py shell Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 2, in <module> from django.core.management import execute_manager ImportError: No module named django.core.management

I solved the No module named....error by providing the full path to the python in my case it was was

/opt/ActivePython-2.6/bin/python manage.py shell

The steps 2 and 3 were spot on.

Thanks a lot. It works now.
