Drupal Drush Maintenance Mode Guide

Did you know that we can enable or disable the maintenance mode in Drupal using Drush?

Drush offers an easy way to perform administrative tasks, including putting our site into maintenance mode. Here’s how to use Drush to enable maintenance mode in Drupal:

1. First, head to the Manage menu and navigate to Configuration.
2. Then click Maintenance mode under Development. This will open up the Maintenance mode page.
3. Next, enable the “Put site into maintenance mode” box.
4. After that, enter a suitable message in the “Message to display when in maintenance mode” box.
5. Finally, click Save Configuration.

Similarly, we can disable Maintenance mode by disabling the “ Put site into maintenance mode” option in Step 3.

Now, we can enable or disable Maintenance mode via Drush as seen below:

1. First, we have to run these commands to enable maintenance mode and clear the cache:

   drush config:set system.maintenance message "Optional message" -y
drush state:set system.maintenance_mode 1 --input-format=integer
drush cache:rebuild

2. Once maintenance is complete, we can run these Drush commands to disable maintenance mode and clear the cache:

   
drush state:set system.maintenance_mode 0 --input-format=integer
drush cache:rebuild


Our experts recommend verifying if the site is out of the maintenance or not after running either set of commands.
