Visit yoursite.com/u/admin-login i.e. help.gulshankumar.net/u/admin-login and then try to log in if that works?

Second option I suggested above should work for you. Please do not log out the next time you put your forum into read only mode.

Ps: Try searching before posting a new query, You may find your solution into a similar question asked by someone else.

Sorry, I couldn’t understand above written steps. Do I need to edit any code? :thinking:

You don’t have to edit anything. Just ssh into your discourse server and do the following:

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
Discourse.disable_readonly_mode(Discourse::USER_READONLY_MODE_KEY)
