Hello, I'm having trouble figuring out how to redirect to a maintenance page. I have tried various combinations of all of the following code in the "Options" under the site and all of them create an infinite redirect loop. Most of the pages on the site are php. Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/error/site_under_maintenance.html$ RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^12\.222\.222\.22 RewriteRule $ /error/site_under_maintenance.html [R=307,L] RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / # If the request is NOT for /maintenance.php, send /maintenance.php instead. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/error/site_under_maintenance\.html$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /error/site_under_maintenance\.html [L] RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/error/site_under_maintenance\.html$ RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^12\.222\.222\.22 RewriteRule $ /error/site_under_maintenance\.html [R=307,L] RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/error/site_under_maintenance\.html$ RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^12\.222\.222\.22 RewriteRule $ /error/site_under_maintenance.html [R=307,L] RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^12\.222\.222\.22 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance.html$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpe?g?|png|gif) [NC] RewriteRule .* /maintenance.html [R=307,L] The page does exist in both places, BTW. Can anyone tell me the correct way to redirect to a maintenance page? Hopefully while still allowing access from the admin IP address. Thanks, JW
Nevermind, this was classic user error on my part. This works: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^12\.2222\.222\.22 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance.html$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpe?g?|png|gif|php|css|js) [NC] RewriteRule .* /maintenance.html [R=307,L]
I will add this question: In the admin area for a site, there is a section (tab) called redirect. I don't understand how that's supposed to be used ... could someone provide some examples?
