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…

Discourse.disable_readonly_mode(Discourse::USER_READONLY_MODE_KEY)

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

[image] tgxworld: Discourse.disable_readonly_mode(Discourse::USER_READONLY_MODE_KEY) That did it. Thank you.

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.

Maybe it’s a UX thing. :slight_smile: it would just seem that such a function could be written such that it didn’t need an argument How to check the redis keys? Oh. No I managed to get it out of read only with your help, so we can’t tell now?

And apparently it used to work without an argument. [image] How can Admin login while Read-only mode is enabled on multisite? Support Was there any error when you tried that? Alternatively, you could try the following ./launcher enter app rails c Discou…

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 - #13 by jerdog ) 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 d…

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?
