Hello,
I'm having issues with the Maintenance Mode. I noticed that fore some reason my site keeps switching to Maintenance Mode automatically. Anyone know why it's doing it & how I can fix the problem?
Did you refresh modifications in admin > Extensions > Modifications before?
In OpenCart 2.0.2.0, it switches to the maintenance mode automatically when modifications are being built and disable after this process is done.

Yes I did refresh the modifications. That now makes scenes.
Thank you.
The same happens in 2.0.3.1 but doesn't re-enable. Seems like something is triggering maintenance mode to activate even though I have disabled all my extensions.

I have made a OCMOD extension to fix it. You can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/va83gsyx3tzty ... d.xml?dl=0.
Note that, after you install this extension, please turn off the maintenance mode in store settings.

Do you think this was a bug for 2.0.3.1?

I've not had a problem since Viethemes fix - the better one I found in just one mod without replacing files. Another one came up in the store but it was replacing the actual modification.php file so I wasn't too sure about it.Freakshow wrote:Anyone more using this hotfix and have feedback that it is holding, i need to trust my store is open 24/7

It is when stuff like this happens i really get skeptical, to trust that your money maker is open for business, well that is kinda core essential if you ask me

No worries. Totally agree. I'm struggling to go live as e-comm came to me as a complete new thing and OC was the best option I found where I could make it look my way with a decent interface.Freakshow wrote:

When you're new to the game in every aspect, it's hard to justify spending money on something that may or may not work to the management. I'm all for developers charging for extra extensions, but when the core doesn't seem stable enough, I struggle to spend (sometimes overcharged) money on developers who may or may not sort my problem from the other side of the world.
The forums, docs all are outdated or specific to v1.5 which doesn't help build confidence at all.
I digress, but from battling and struggling from OC2.0 to 2.0.3.1 in a test environment with no live shop yet I do believe it is a "better" version than before and gives me some hope.

This won't work. The modification will be lost as soon as you refresh your modification cache.viethemes wrote:I have made a OCMOD extension to fix it. You can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/va83gsyx3tzty ... d.xml?dl=0.

You don't get it. How do you install the modification? Answer, by refreshing your modification cache. The first thing this does is put the site into maintenance mode (standard behaviour). The problem is, that it doesn't take the site out of maintenance mode afterwards. Your code sets maintenance mode to "true", which only ensures that it stays on.viethemes wrote:Because the maintenance mod is turned on before, so we need to turn it off after installing the extension

Please note that the extension is a hot fix! I will fix the problem on next times when you refresh modifications.

1) Install the xml file with extension installer
2) Refresh the modifications cache
3) Disable maintenance mode one last time
...Is there anything else that needs to happen to make this work, or am I good?
Thx,
