Admin site locked in maintenance mode
 

Hello,

I just ran a store re-deployment after I had made changes to my template files, and the procedure stopped (with a big "OOPS" on the page) when it discovered that my /public_html/var/locale directory was not writeable. I ssh'd in and chmod'd the directory, waited a minute, then refreshed the Admin page. It immediately went to the maintenance page you get when you close your storefront on the public site, saying it will be just a minute. Now I'm locked out of the Admin.

Clearly, I wasn't supposed to refresh the page, but how can get in and unlock the admin site?

Thanks,
Chris

When X-Cart cache generation fails, please follow these steps:

1) Close all your web-site's pages (if any is opened in your browser).

2) Remove "var/run" folder, "var/datacache" folder, and "var/.rebuildStarted" file in your X-Cart installation (using FTP, SSH or File Manager in your website Control Panel).

3) Open X-Cart admin page in your browser (for example, http://demostore.x-cart.com/admin/admin.php?target=login).

The last step will initiate the cache regeneration process in your browser. Do not close your browser until the cache generation process is completed successfully.
