I have been trying take my newly installed Coppermine installations offline.
First I tried to do it from the control panel. Each time I logged in as administrator, I would set it to offline. And each time I come back it is still online.
Next, I tried the suggestion here that I set the value of 'offline' to '0' through the SQL comand line editor. Still no luck.
Next, I went into the SQL editor itself. I found that each time I tried to set the value to 0, it would come back to 1.
Obviously, this is hardwired in. What am I doing wrong?
Please run the update.php file by appending that file name to your gallery URL.
...and update your coppermine version to the most recent stable (cpg1.3.3)
