Cannot Enable Magento 2 Maintenance Mode Excluding a Specific IP – How to Fix

magento2maintenance

I have a magento2 web application which I need to enable maintenance mode excluding a specific IP. The following command did enable the maintenance mode without excluding my IP.

php bin/magento maintenance:enable --ip=123.45.67.89

and I tried the following since the above command didn't work.

php bin/magento maintenance:allow-ips 123.45.67.89

var/.maintenance.ip does exist and it has my ip listed in it.

Are you by any chance using varnish or another reverse proxy? ie, it might be that your public IP does not get forwarded, and therefore cannot be recognised. Easiest check is the access logs on the webserver, see if you can see your own IP in there. Otherwise you'll have to implemented x-forwarded-for headers

Magento goes to maintenance mode when you create a file named maintenance.flag to your Magento home directory. This is how Magento handles it:

$maintenanceFile = 'maintenance.flag';

if (file_exists($maintenanceFile)) {
    include_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/errors/503.php';
    exit;
}

In this case I think you are running into one of three issues.

You need to run php bin/magento setup:upgrade to update the list of modules in case you have removed or changed one. If you did remove the Smartwave module without resetting your app/etc/config.php it's possible to get this error.
You have removed the Smartwave module but there is still code the uses some of it's classes or extends from it that haven't been updated.
You need to clear that var folder's that could have old content in them. They are typically var/di, var/view_preprocessed, var/cache, var/page_cache, var/generation. Clearing these might solve the issue.

From here, I would grep for the use of the Smartwave module in the app and vendor folders and see what comes up to figure out where it's being used.

grep -r "Smartwave" app/*
