Q: DrupalCloud Maintenance Mode

You can put a MIT Drupal Cloud site into Maintenance Mode to make it private until you are ready to launch your site.

Answer

If using menus, look for the menu:
Administration » Configuration » Development » Maintenance mode

Another way to get there is to go to

https://YOUR_SITE_NAME.mit.edu/admin/config/development/maintenance

(replace YOUR_SITE_NAME with your site name)

• Turn on the checkbox that says "Put site into maintenance mode"
• Customize the message if desired
• Press the button to save configuration

Caching

Drupal Cloud sites have a cache that may not immediately show maintenance mode. If you need to clear the cache, go to:
Administration » Configuration » Development » Performance

or look for

https://YOUR_SITE_NAME.mit.edu/admin/config/development/performance

• Click on the Clear All Caches button. Wait a few moments for the system to complete its task. You'll see a confirmation message.

Login

If you have trouble logging in after enabling Maintenance mode, you can try putting /omg/login on the end of your site's address (and https at beginning).

For example, for a site with address YOUR_SITE_NAME.mit.edu you could try logging in at

https://YOUR_SITE_NAME.mit.edu/omg/login

(The address does need to use https , unsecure http will not work here.)

Once logged in, you can go to your "/admin" page, https://YOUR_SITE_NAME.mit.edu/admin
