That didn’t help - now neither radio button (yes or no) is lit up. Nor does the site come back alive after selecting yes.

I have a lot in my config.php file now, and quite frankly, I’m not sure what can stay and what can go, or if any of it is affecting the ability to turn the site on and off. Here’s what I have after removing the line in your post:

<?php

if ( ! defined('EXT')){
exit('Invalid file request');
}

$conf['app_version'] = "169";
$conf['license_number'] = "...";
$conf['debug'] = "0";
$conf['install_lock'] = "1";
$conf['db_hostname'] = "...";
$conf['db_username'] = "...";
$conf['db_password'] = "...";
$conf['db_name'] = "...";
$conf['db_type'] = "mysql";
$conf['db_prefix'] = "exp";
$conf['db_conntype'] = "0";
$conf['system_folder'] = "...";
$conf['cp_url'] = "...";
$conf['doc_url'] = "http://expressionengine.com/docs/";
$conf['allow_extensions'] = "n";
$conf['multiple_sites_enabled'] = "n";
$conf['forum_is_installed'] = "y";
$conf['cookie_prefix'] = "hr_";
$conf['cookie_domain'] = "...";
$conf['cookie_path'] = "";
$conf['user_session_type'] = "c";
$conf['admin_session_type'] = "s";
$conf['require_ip_for_login'] = "n";
$conf['require_ip_for_posting'] = "n";
$conf['secure_forms'] = "n";
$conf['site_index'] = 'index.php';
?>

Should I take any of that out? Obviously the ‘...’ are just where I’ve removed sensitive information. Thank goodness for Preview Post…I damn near forgot all that info was there :red:

My mistake, you can leave that line in and set to:

$conf['is_system_on'] = "y";

Then you can control whether it’s off or on from the control panel. Keep in mind that as a Superadmin you can always view the front-end of your site even if it’s “offline”. So make sure you’re testing the front-end when logged out (or logged in as a non-superadmin).

I’m not sure… I added that line back in, and when I go in to check, it’s set to Y. When I set it to N, and hit update, it goes right back to Y…

I also tried setting it to No, saving, logging out and checking the site and I’m still able to access…

helbnt,

Make sure your config.php has writeable permissions of 666

Awesome. Thanks John, that did the trick.

Glad to see you’re all set. Please post again as needed.
