If you just visit the site you should get the 'site offline' message when it's offline, but sometimes it's necessary for the admin to log in again for whatever reason.

If you goto /user - or /index.php?q=user (if your not using clean URLs) then you should get the login screen ...

also, you may replace settings.php by accident. just edit your settings.php with right value of mysql access.

I had a similar problem related to the "non clean" URLs.

I had to run update and cron, then dance a jig. Once I did those, (not sure which one actually worked) I could get in but with non-clean URLs. Now, I can't change the URLs to be clean again. I've tried altering the .htaccess file and even contacted my host who assured me that the .htaccess is fine.

Unfortunately, fine thought it may be, I still can't turn on Clean Urls. Looking back, I think part of the problem was that the submit buttons were still pointing to clean urls even though they were not enabled.

Try typing in: www.example.com/?q=admin

Meanwhile, can anyone help me with the clean urls? I've done all the handbook suggests.

PLEASE!
