Down For Maintenance (How to fix)

[TamyA]

Greetings,

I am using ZC 155f, I copied the database to another database before i work on it so i have the original working DB, when i was done i did not like the change i made (changes made in related products table only) and i went back to the original database by renaming it to the original name, now it shows the admin and the store front in "Maintenance Mode".

I checked the configuration table, in it the configuration_value = 'false' where configuration_key = 'DOWN_FOR_MAINTENANCE'.
What should i do to get the site up and running. Thanks a bunch.

The site is not in maintenance mode, the database credentials in the site's /includes/configure.php and/or /admin/includes/configure.php aren't referencing the site's live database.

Thanks for the reply, both files shows the correct database. Now, when i rename the database and rename it back to the original name, do i loose any credentials?

Not knowing the intricacies of the method you used for the renaming, I'll have to go with probably based on the current website display.

Thanks again, when i saw that picture i thought it is the "Down For Maintenance" picture, i see what you are saying now, it is a database connection problem, and i do not have any idea where to start, it has been a while. Thanks.

If your webhost provides a cPanel interface, navigate to your MySql databases and make sure that the database user, password and server settings in your two configure.php files match what the webhost's configuration indicates.

Thanks a lot for steering me in the right direction.
i found out the user which been in the configuration files for ever has disappeared from the MySql database,
all i did is rename the database twice and the web host support said: "that should not remove the user name from the MySql". and they added the correct user and it is working now.

I appreciate your help and my web host support help, you guys got my back. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for reporting back that, with the "proper" database credentials, the site's back up.
