Erik, The http://xxx URL responds with the index.html page. Possibly for maintenance you can temporarily rename that file and substitute the underconstruction.html for index.html. Then after maintenance you would change the names back.

The Apache Configuration I'm trying to setup should simply do the following: * Be a basic under construction page to be used during service maintenance * Requests to certain subdirectories should still work * All other incoming requests should simply display my static "under construction" page (http://xxx/underconstruction.html) * When requesting the site during maintenance, the browserline should read http://xxx and not http://xxx/underconstruction.html so the user can simply click reload to check if the site is available now Could anybody give me a hint how to do this? An example configuration would be great! Many thanx in advance and greetings from Berlin Erik -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Setting-up-Under-Contruction-page-tp27074098p27074 098.html Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
