Hi all, My site is suddenly in ‘read only’ mode, and I don’t know why. chathamhouse.sandbaggernews.com A friend helped me set up Discourse, but unfortunately he’s left town for a Linux conference in Seattle :stuck_out_tongue: I’m trying to present this site to my professors tomorrow night. Reall…

If you can ssh into the site host, try this : ./launcher enter app rails c Discourse.disable_readonly_mode

I had a client with this problem just now. I don’t know how the site ended up in Read only mode. I don’t know why disable_readonly_mode requires an argument. These seem like bugs.

Perhaps mere mortals don’t often need to do that.

So I have a similar issue. After getting through here ( Inheriting discourse install - need some assistance ) I am attempting the Discourse.disable_readonly_mode(Discourse::USER_READONLY_MODE_KEY) but it keeps returning => true, is out of RO Mode for a second and then pops back in. I don’t have that k…

Did anybody manage to get really out of the stuck mode? I’ve been seeing this for a couple of days now on our instances. It might be that on our side it was triggered by a automatic failover within Redis. Is there any key in Redis or Postgresql helping me to understand the problem?
