 Topic: Help, i’m locked out :(
Posted: 11 January 2004 at 1:13pm |
Plz help me, I closed my forum for maintenance while upgrading to 7.7
Now I can't log in by myself. Trying to login through the admin area using path /forum/admin/default.asp I'm being redirected to forum/default.asp taking me to /forum_closed.asp telling me that that the forums closed for maintenance...
Where / how to do?

If you can, download the database from the webserver and activate the forum directly from the db.
After that upload the db to the server.
An other solution is to comment the close forum redirect line to the common.asp page.
in this way you can login to the forum, unlock it and after that uncomment the line and update the page on the server.

No, it's not a bug!
If you go to Lock forum page yuo can read:
 If you Lock the Forums the entire board will be locked and anyone entering any part of the board will receive the message, 'Sorry, the forums are presently closed for maintenance'.
This will mean no-one will be able to register, post messages, send private messages, or even login.
This will also mean that if you logout of this admin area you will NOT be able to login through the main forum.
To log back into the admin area to un-lock the forums, point your browser at this admin folder and login into the admin area through the admin area login page. |

Yes, I have red it during my last post
| To log back into the admin area to un-lock the forums, point your browser at this admin folder and login into the admin area through the admin area login page. |
In my sites generally I provide a database manager it's for so I remember you can un-lock directly editing db.
