Magento – Maintenance mode without maintenance.flag

maintenance

I have a problem. My magento puts itself to maintenance mode without maintenance.flag. At this time i did not do any installations or backups. Last time this happened i restore the database to last day and all was ok, but now i cannot restore database to the day when magento is working.

The Maintenance mode is just an include of the "503.php" which is located in the errors directory of your Magento installation. There exist only two possibilities when this file is going to be included:

the maintenance.flag file exists in the root directory of your magento installation (see index.php)
you are using Redis and expired the maximum of concurrency connections

As you already mentioned, none of these cases match your problem.

Maybe an extension will raise the maintenance mode by including the errors/503.php of the errors directory. Please search all your (custom) code for "503.php". It is possible that some of your extensions need another resource which is not present.

For a quick and easy solution where you could stick to mysqldump you could also try splitting your dump down to specific tables to reduce the size. Tables that don't change much or don't contain critical data don't have to be backed up that frequently: https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/9306/how-do-you-mysqldump-specific-tables

Magento – 1.9.0.1 Maintenance Mode

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;
}
