Down for Maintenance Problem

[njlp]

Hello,

I'm having a problem accessing the site as admin while the site is down for maintenance. I have included my ip address in the Web Maintenance section but I'm still not able to access the site. It still show the down for maintenance message. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but maybe someone can shed some light into this problem.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks

Have you ever been able to access the site as admin while in maintenance mode? If so, it might be that your IP address has since changed. This can happen when a router resets and you have dynamic addresses setup. Or it could be that you haven't entered your IP address correctly. Does it contain full stops as separators, because some places tell you what your IP address is using other symbols.

The Down for Maintenance message will show for you even when your IP Address has been added ...

The difference is ... you can access the Catalog of your shop ...

Are you concerned because you see the message? Or is something not working?

NOTE: many payment and shipping modules cannot be properly used/tested when set to Down for Maintenance ...

Hello,

I was able to figure out what I was doing wrong. I was using the ip address that was listed on my router 76.123.xxx.xxx instead of the one listed on the admin area and of course it wasn't working. I changed the ip addressed and it works now. I guess what I don't get is why everywhere I went to trace/show my ip it showed the first ip and not the second one. Maybe you guys can clarify that for me. I really appreciate the quick response and thank you for your help.

My site seems to be stuck in maintenance mode. i have changed the setting in admin but the site still shows down for maintenance. I have a copy running on my local sever with the same problem. Any suggestions very welcome as I have no idea where to start looking with this one.

Found my answer in another thread regarding admin not up-dating changes, the recent up-date shown here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=130161

had not been installed properly.

All sorted !!

Many Thanks!!
