How do I turn off maintenance mode?

Question

I accidentally turned on maintenance mode and now am locked out of my site. How can I turn it off without using the ui?

I found a way.

In the database there is an entry in the forum_keyvalue table "MAINTAINANCE_MODE". Clearing the value of this turns maintenance mode off.

update forum_keyvalue set value=null where key='MAINTAINANCE_MODE';

Not sure why. Setting the value to null doesn't work for me. What's even stranger is that I dropped the database, recreated it, and it's still stuck in maintenance mode.

You have to reset the cache to. Clear the cache folder.
