Hello everyone,

I put my site off-line. Now, I can't get it back online! What the hell is happening? I have no login box, my admin is seperate from my general theme, every page I visit tells me my site is offline!

I am getting really tired of having to reinstall Drupal all the time. I have pages built, menus, built, I do not want to do it again. If I have to do it again, I'm done with Drupal. Somebody please help me!

The site is http://www.oldscoolgames.com

I tried to get into the admin section by typing http://www.oldscoolgames/?q=admin/ in the address bar but I cannot get into the administration section.

DAMN!

Very, very frustrated,

Jerry Kobylt

Hello, go to http://www.oldscoolgames/?q=user

From there login as the administrator. Then just turn your site back on.

I don't know why, but doing this crashes my database, bringing down other my other sites. Does anyone know how to do this manually? like from the db...

Sorry for wasting your time. I found an article on it in the help section. I panicked when I couldn't log back in. I've had to reinstall drupal too many times. What happens to the content? Where can I find the pages I create in the Drupal database?

From "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (Douglas Adams):
"DON'T PANIC."

If something goes wrong, sit, relax and re-think. It's better way than panic (panic is good way to more problems)

Thank you for this thread.

You all helped me avoid Panic. If I had to, I was willing to go through that install again since I am in learning mode. My site is embryonic, but I could completely appreciate the panic if a site was near completion.

I did some module updates, and needed a database update, hence, off-line mode. I could not get back in and found this thread. It was easy and without Panic!

Thanks again
