No matter what i do, it will not go out of maintenance mode. also, as Anonymous, i was able to edit the Dragonfly message and delete it.

Now, I am locked out as admin with no place left to login as admin because of the:

Maintenance
We're doing a bit of work on our site, so we'll be down for a while.
Check back later to see if we're up.

i followed the chmod instructions closely. but, could this be an issue in the chmoding?

Global Villages

www.global-villages.in.../admin.php

go to yourdomain.tld/admin.php and login as admin.

Ok. Once again. It has locked me out. I had LOGGED OFF as Admin. it is only logging me in as a non-admin, and it goes back to the MAINTENANCE page as I described after I log in.

is this a bug? I have not been able to get out of maintenance mode since i first installed. as admin, i was able to play around. i logged off as admin to see if i could view it normal, but, then, i cannot get back in. nothing lets me in.

try clearing the cache folder in dragonfly.

Ok. I closed IE, and opened OPERA. Started fresh, where it did not know who I was. It called me Anonymous, then i was able to login as Sandi and it refreshed my admin status. still, i am stuck in

System Message
You are running under maintenance mode mode.

did you clear the cache in dragonfly? there is a folder root/cpgnuke/cache
config_MAIN_cfg.php holds cached info about your site for speed.. and unless its cleared its still gonna show maintenence mode

i found it, but i thought that instruction had to do with getting in as admin. i found the file, but what do you mean by CLEAR exactly? delete it?

delete all the files in that directory from your server.. they will be auto regenerated

you mean that config php file has nothing to do with anything, you want me to delete all of the contents of the cache dir.

yes.. its just the sites cache.. all the files are created automatically.. it is 100% safe to delete

i deleted all files. i was still logged in. i am still getting -- System Message
You are running under maintenance mode. though, apparently it logged me out. i log back in, and it is still the same maintenance issue problem.

did you login as admin and turn maintenance mode off?

admin.php?op=settings&s=2
set Active to NO

so far i have not been able to locate that button. i was able to logoff as admin, while staying on as a normal member. that is when i got locked out. i tried it twice, and it only locked me out on the second time.

Admin -> Main Settings
there you will find a link to "maintenance"
