HELP!!!!

I just upgraded and selected the option  to put system in Maintenance Mode.


Now I can't get it out.

If I run /smf/Sources/Admin.php I get a Hacking Attempt Message


Please Help Me!!!!!

You are not supposed to run /Sources/Admin.php directly, which is why you got that hacking error. Infact you can't run any of the files other than index.php in that manner, they will all give you hacker errors.

You have to run "http://www.yoursite.com/yourforum/index.php?action=admin" from the browser to get into the admin center.

To get out of maintenance mode, go into your forum, then login as your admin account. Then go into the admin center and into edit server settings. Uncheck the box next to maintenance mode and hit save.

If you still are having trouble getting it out of maintenance mode, you can modify Settings.php and manually take it out of maintenance mode by changing this:

Code Select Expand

$maintenance = 1;
or this:

Code Select Expand

$maintenance = 2;

to this:

Code Select Expand

$maintenance = 0;
