What to do if your sharepoint content database was locked.

Moss 2007 Site Action -> Site Settings have disappeared
For some unknown reason for the admin user of our Moss site (and all
other users who had full control permissions) the Site Action -> Site
Settings menu option have disappeared from the home page. I can
navigate to it by going to mysite/_layouts/settings.aspx but I can't
change anything it says I do not have permissions.

IF the user logged IS the Site Collection administrator and still gets
theses access denied messages, your Content Database seems to be
locked. This happens during backups or when backups go wrong (get
interrupted for example)
stsadm -o getsitelock -url http://server_name

if it is not showing as 'none', it is locked. fix command:
stsadm -o setsitelock -url http://server%5Fname -lock none
