Different ways to activate maintenance mode

Written by The Jahia Team

At the moment (January 2021, Jahia releases 8.0.1.0 and 7.3.6.0), the property maintenanceMode is not being handled by Jahia (cf https://jira.jahia.org/browse/QA-13569).

Consequently, how can we activate the maintenance mode?

Answer

There are 3 ways:

Manually thanks to the tools: JAHIA_URL/modules/tools/maintenance.jsp

Thanks to a curl command:

curl -s -u 'USER:PASSWORD' -XGET "JAHIA_URL/modules/tools/maintenance.jsp?maintenance=true"

Thanks to a SSH command through the Karaf console:

 ssh -p 8101 jahia@localhost -C "dx:maintenance on"
