My site seems to be stuck in an offline mode for some reason. There is no error printed, just the default text:

Site off-line

The site is currently not available due to technical problems. Please try again later. Thank you for your understanding.

If you are the maintainer of this site, please check your database settings in the settings.php file and ensure that your hosting provider's database server is running. For more help, see the handbook, or contact your hosting provider."

The usual /user, /?q=user, /?q=admin URLs do not work and just bring me to the site offline page.

The information in settings.php is correct as I have logged into the mysql db directly using the credentials supplied. The offline variable record is disabled in the db ( s:1:"0" ), have tried deleting all from cache* tables.

Even tried an upgrade by untar'ing a fresh install & running update.php....but update.php yields a WSOD.

Seems the db might be corrupted? If so, anyway to fix it without losing everything?

Any suggestions?

We don't delete content on drupal.org-- you never know when someone else will find something useful. Please don't use edit permissions to remove content, thanks. And I'm sure if you leave a sentence or two with what your solution was, other users would be very grateful.

I have the same problem. How did you solve it?

Please share!

Same problem, found answer here http://drupal.org/node/241409. I think it should be added to the offline page, because I'm sure I'll have forgotten this by the time I'm installing another site.

It's currently at:

Documentation -> Troubleshooting -> Account, Permission, and Login Issues -> How to log in once you have turned your site off-line for maintenance

as well as

Documentation -> Troubleshooting -> Account, Permission, and Login Issues -> Login after disabling the User login block

Can you link to where else you think it might go?
