Hi Apache gurus. I am looking for a simple way to get a maintenance page up on RHEL4AS running httpd version 2.0.52. the maintenance page should come up when the site is down...or if there is a maintenence going on...like uploads and such. I have looked around found .htaccess, or the Rewrite way...but can someone explain me how to do this. There is too much information scattered around about this and I am looking for a clear answer...step by step directions. The O'Reilly Apache Cookbook that I have does not give me the answer as well. Thanks much in advance.
The easiest way, when running in rev-proxy mode at least (as inhttp://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DifferentUserIDsUsingReverseProxy) would be to set ErrorDocument for the 5xx class errors to something appropriate.
Otherwise you could have something along the lines of: RewriteCond -f /path/to/file/that/gets/touched/on/maintenance/rm/afterwards RewriteRule ^ http://example.com/maintenance.html [R] I'm not sure about the performance impact of the latter.
Regards. # mukarram
