Service Temporarily Unavailable in Magento 1
You should check if there is a file maintenance.flag
in Magento root folder.
Why?
During installation process, Magento creates the file maintenance.flag
, if Magento checks that file exists, and it will show to users the error messsage as I showed above. Generally, it will automatically remove maintenance.flag
file after the processing has been done, but there are something went wrong and you cannot delete it.
Solution
Delete the file maintenance.flag
in Magento root folder.
Service Temporarily Unavailable in Magento 2
It is very similar with Magento 1.
The file now is .maintenance.flag
not maintenance.flag
. There is a dot at the begining of the file.
Solution
- Delete a file called
var/.maintenance.flag
in the Magento root folder - Remove Magento cache if there is any:
php bin/magento cache:flush
Problem: Unable to proceed: the maintenance mode is enabled in Magento 2
Unable to proceed: the maintenance mode is enabled.
