site off line message, but login isn't working...

Hello, a bad week.
I have been trying to upgrade to 6.2, but there has been some bug.. I have restored 5x, and the offline message has come on. However, under mysite.com/?=user I just get an ip address...as I am a php ignoramous, in the phpmysql interface, which table on the left do I click to change a 1 to 0 or vice versa--that is what I am assuming I need to do to .

http://drupal.org/node/56995 might help, maybe? at least a hint.
make sure you have a backup copy of your database before attempting...good luck!
Not quite, weird,
I managed to log in, but I got the home page, without the admin menu or anything and the message that I am Operating in off-line mode. -- but as you see, there is no admin menu. I have turned on all the switches (?) I could from going into system in phpmyadmin and turning on all the modules, unless it has to be in the default module..
Plus it won't link to any nodes.
I noticed from that link about there was this--
UPDATE variable SET value = 's:1:"0";' WHERE name= 'site_offline';<br>DELETE FROM cache WHERE cid = 'variables';but I don't know how to run a query in phpmyadmin--I am very unphp. If you can tell me how to do this, then what do I do to clear it, I assume this will help?
Thanks

since you can login, you should be able to navigate to the admin menu via http://mysite/admin (http://mysite/?q=admin)... the full url to the site maintenance page (with clean urls enabled) is http://mysite/admin/settings/site-maintenance.
OK, but...
Now I am in that page, and live mode, but it is not referencing to any page, eg
The requested URL /taxonomy/term/3 was not found on this server
all pages are like this.
I don't get it...gently weeping....what has been turned off?
...
sorry, not understanding where you are.
- you got to the admin pages okay? (thinking yes)
- did you get your site back in online mode? (yes?)
- accessing taxonomy, views, and nodes not showing up? (to be tested)
- the url you are referencing is your front page? (?)
take a deep breath...you can do this.
i am wondering if your cache (browser and/or database) is corrupted (you can use phpmyadmin to clear the cache table; do not delete the table, just truncate it.). you may also wish to verify the clean-url test. this page may have something to help you.
don't forget that you have logs to help you diagnose your problem(s).
