My application was working fine yesterday. I started my PC today. When I tried to start Magento I got this error message.
Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
I am not able to open even admin page and I am not even able to see any sort of errors on then page. If I give any URL of my Magento site I am getting the above output. How do I resolve this?
Check if there is a file called maintenance.flag and if so delete it.
Magento 1.x : maintenance.flag file is in : magento root directory
Magento 2.x : maintenance.flag file is in : var folder
When Magento is performing certain tasks it temporarily creates this file. Magento checks for its existence and if it's there will send users to the page you described.
It's supposed to automatically delete this file when done processing whatever task it was doing, but I've experienced occasions where something went wrong and it failed to delete it.
Simply delete the maintenance.flag
file in root folder and then delete the files of cache folder and session folder inside var/
folder.
Now in new version magento2 on Generate error Service Temporarily Unavailable.
Remove maintenance.flag
From this path which is changed magento2/var/maintenance.flag
.
Also
$ rm maintenance.flag
To fix Service Temporarily Unavailable Magento 2, you should:
- Delete a file called
var/.maintenance.flag
in Magento root folder
- Remove Magento cache if any:
php bin/magento cache:flush
I had the same issue but have not found the maintenance.flag file in my Magento root.
I simply deleted cache and sessions files and all worked again.
You need to follow these steps:
- Go to magento root directory via cPanel/FTP
- In case of Magento1, you will find maintenance.flag and delete it
- In case of Magento2, delete var/maintenance.flag
go to your website via FTP/Cpanel
, find maintenance.flag
and remove
In Magento 2 You have to remove file located in /var/.maintenance.flag - just realized that after some searching, so i shall share.
You can do this thing:
Go to http://localhost/magento/downloader url. Here I am running the magento store on my localhost. Now you can login to magento connect manager and uninstall the extension which you installed previously.
Hope this works !!!!!
Thanks.
Check the root folder of your Magento installation directory .You will find maintenance.flag file, delete it and refresh the site .it will work fine.
If removing the flag shows service temporary unavailable.
Go to "http://localhost.com/downloader" and unisntall slider banner,BusinessDecision_Interaktingslider,lightbox2 and anotherone that I dont remember.
