Might need a bit more info to help you out. Why you had the door off? Do you have the interior door panel removed? Can you tell if the rod that activates the inside release is working? Is the exterior handle button stuck? Was the door working right before it was removed?

oh sorry, i had the door off, and it is all together no panel removed, yes the door worked before, the outer and inner handle both worked to open the door. yup worked right before i took it off.

If you put new weatherstrip on you might have to push in on the latch side just under the handle while u try to open it.

ok in order to fix it you will need to take door panel off and try to manualy open it any way you can.
