How "disable web interface" works?

Support & Bugs

hi,
i just upgraded (manually, the other option didn’t work) to last 1.8.2, and before that i followed hints i found in How to - Analytics Platform - Matomo, putting

[Tracker]
record_statistics = 0

and

[General]
maintenance_mode = 1

in the config/config.ini.php file.

but i didn’t notice any difference in piwik web interface, i could still connect to it no message was shown. I went on anyway, and everything worked, apparently.

but, how is it supposed to work? where the “maintenance” message shoud appear?

Thanks, Marco

Yes it should hav eappeared, did you put the line maintenance_mode = 1 below the existing [General] sections?

…gosh, no, the words “add this to the config.ini” lead me to just drop the lines at the top of the file :smiley:

i just tried now and it works if put in the [Geneal] section…

any special car about the
[Tracker]
record_statistics = 0

?

Thanks, Marco
