I'm having issues with an upgrade from 1.6.2 to 1.8.4 - no access to the admin panel (I get a white page "cannot display the page). Without access to the admin panel to disable signups, I'm getting spammers.
What's the easiest way to temporarily disable the site from within cpanel / file manager?
Thanks.
you can try this
: open
~/inc/settings.php file in a editor like
notepad++ or through file manager at web host panel
find
$settings['disableregs'] = "0"; and change its value to
1 (that is,
$settings['disableregs'] = "1";)

Thanks. Found the file and changed the value to 1, but the index page is still showing. How can I disable the page from showing? Rename the index page or something? Edit: That did it.
oh, in the same settings.php file you can change $settings['boardclosed'] = "0"; to $settings['boardclosed'] = "1";
