Hi all,
I've just upgraded to 2.7 from 2.2 and after some frustration with difficulty in moving my very large data directory, I managed to get everything set up and functioning...or so I thought.
I placed the site in maintenance mode while it was running with a raw ip number as the access domain. After that I changed the A record for my domain to point it to my new site (from a temporary hosted server where I had the site). Then I went back and edited config.php and entered the domain name instead of the IP address. I waited overnight for the A record change to propagate and now I have my site in maintenance mode but there is no link that would allow me to log in as admin and take it out of maintenance mode. Additionally, I saw several posts here about maintenance mode being simply triggered by the existence of maintenance.html in the data directory...somewhere...but where? There is no directory numbered 1 in my data directory. Could that be 01? But nothing but files with long cryptic file names in there....maybe I should switch back to the IP in config.php?
Note - my maintenance mode screen is all white with the text of the message I entered when I enabled maintenance mode but nothing else...
