Hi, I have recently switched host providers for my websites and began migrating across. The first EE powered site went seemingly well, I followed the guide here:-

However, when I log in to the control panel and try and turn the site on and off, it wont let me change?

Have I missed anything?

Thanks

Hi, Scott. You posted this in the EE1.x support forum -  Can you tell us which version/build of EE you’re using? See EEWiki:// HowTo Determine My EE Version

Hi Sue, the version is 1.7

Is your /system/config.php file set to be writable?

The value of:

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

Needs to be set to “n”—but if the file isn’t writable, EE can’t change it. Does that help?

Thanks so much Sue, great help as always.

So all is working again?

Hi Sue, yes all corrected now. Thanks again

Glad to hear it. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
