Error 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable Magento

We can come across a situation in magento where we are presented with the following message,
"Service Temporarily Unavailable  The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later."

This happens because when Magento is performing certain tasks, it temporarily creates a file called maintenance.flag. Magento automatically deletes this file when the task is complete.
But when the task is incomplete or something wrong happen in between, then this file remains there.
Magento checks for its existence and if found redirects to error 503 page.

So, the solution is to check if the file maintenance.flag is in magento root. If it is there, then delete it.

Cheers!!

Magento 2.3 Admin panel blank issue

After the Installation of Magento from the composer, we cannot access the admin panel. Also, the deploy command doesn't work. (On Windows 10 OS). Note: Magento 2.3 supports Linux OS. Windows and Mac OS is not supported. This is a Magento bug. Wrong paths to Windows are generated. The fixed fix is Magento 2.3.0 - 2.3.3 #/vendor/magento/framework/View/Element/Template/File/Validator.php:140 the string if (0 === strpos($realPath, $directory)) {     return true; } to replace $realDirectory = $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($directory); if (0 === strpos($realPath, $realDirectory)) {    return true; } Magento 2.2.7 /vendor/magento/framework/View/Element/Template/File/Validator.php:113 code protected function isPathInDirectories($path, $directories) {     if (!is_array($directories)) {         $directories = (array)$directories;     }     foreach ($directories as $directory) {   ...

Changing the attribute type in Magento

Sometimes, we need to change the input type of attributes in Magento. Magento by default doesn't allow to change the input type from backend simply. We need to do this programmatically. Here is a code to change the input type from dropdown to text. $installer = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup'); $installer->startSetup(); $iProductEntityTypeId = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getResource()->getTypeId(); $idAttributeOldSelect = $installer->getAttributeId($iProductEntityTypeId, 'manufacturer'); $installer->updateAttribute($iProductEntityTypeId, $idAttributeOldSelect, array(     'frontend_input' => 'text' )); $installer->endSetup(); Finally, we need to remove the old values or they will conflict with the new setup. DELETE FROM catalog_product_entity_int WHERE entity_type_id = 4 and attribute_id = YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_ID_HERE; Cheers!!
