Eric, There are nothing under the error_log. However, the access_log continue to display the same line "GET /maintenance.html HTTP/1.1" 302 219 "--" "Mozilla/4.0 compatible:MSIE 5.01: Windows NT 5.0)" "GET /maintenance.html HTTP/1.1" 302 219 "--" "Mozilla/4.0 compatible:MSIE 5.01: Windows NT 5.0)" "GET /maintenance.html HTTP/1.1" 302 219 "--" "Mozilla/4.0 compatible:MSIE 5.01: Windows NT 5.0)" It seems I would need some kind of exception so that it will forward/redirect everything except the maintenance.html file/link, right.
