Hi!
I had the same error message on my website and tried your suggestion.
But now I will get only errors on my website.
Hope you can help me that my site will work again.

Hello Hubert,
It seems like there is an error related to theme.
You can try by checking at the location app/code/Rokanthemes/Themeoption/Observer/RefreshStyleObserver.php 58 line
Moreover, you can try by giving 777 permission to pub/static.
Also check the owner of the file or folder.
Thank You
Hello Sanjay
I’m a totally newbie in magento. I have skills in linux, wordpress, macos but this is the first time I have a client with magento shop and I faced the same issue, once I tried to log in into the admin area. Once I entered user/pass I got the message “There has been an error processing your request. Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons. Error log record number: 987882184e9b868db9638bdc913510ba0170905862fd2c0de2a3fd22116db31c”
After a little research I came to your website for the solution. I need your help because:
The owner of the website has no clue at all from technology. The previous dev got disappeared – and that’s why I offered to help him.
I have full access to cpanel, hosting provider, everything. But I don’t have a local copy of it – as I see in your example- so to test it here first.
Can you please guide me, to fix this issue, safely and only through cpanel, file manager and etc? SSH is not an option for now but if I must enable it, I can do it.
Please I remind only through web/browser any solution you might have.
Thank you so so much <3

Hello Andrea,
No, it can not be done using SSH command, you can do it from database directly from ‘store’ table.

Hi Sanjay,
When I tried to turn off developer mode, the terminal showing that “jailshell: bin/magento: Permission denied”
Hello,
It is the permission issue.
Please assign the permission to the bin folder and try again.
Thanks.

Hello Meghna,
After your issues are resolved, please switch your store to the production mode.
Thank you.
Dear Sanjay,
Very usefull tip, thank you ! It worked for me.
Question: Once Magento is fully recovered, shall we revert the commands.
Meaning to say, rename the file into local.xml.sample and undo developer mode ?
What is your advise ?

Now, as far as your question is concerned, yes you need to revert from the developer mode to the production mode.
