Migration after server crash: maintenance mode and/or cache problem

Question

I had a crash of my previous server and I tried to rise my website from the dead. I had backups of all the files & of the database (PostgreSQL). I was not the one who set up the website and my knowledge of Drupal is pretty low. From what I understood/gathered, it is a 7.54 version and it runs with multisite.

What I did so far:

• Import my database backup in PostgreSQL (in the dumbest way possible: recreate the right database & user, import everything back in place);
• Upload all the files to my new server (running Debian Jessie);
• Give access to the sites/ directories to www-data user;
• Clear the sites/mysite/css/ and sites/mysite/js/ directories;
• Disable CSS & JS aggregation (using drush).

I did the latest because the style of the website was broken; that was enough to revive it.

I still have on major issue: when I log in, I get the maintenance message. I therefore tried to disable maintenance_mode with drush; it didn't work.

I saw it could be related to cache issues; I therefore tried to clear the cache (once again with drush with drush cc all). It put the whole site in maintenance, and not only when I'm logged in.

I am not sure where the problem comes from. Any hint or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Here is finally how I solved the problem with Yogesh help: when I tried to access the admin section while logged in as an administrator, I got an error. I therefore checked the watchdog table. The image_dimensions table was somehow missing:

[...] Undefined table: 7 ERROR: relation "image_dimensions" does not exist [...]

I created the missing table, and everyhting was then working (access to the admin section, access to the user section and so on).
