| Hi all, I just has a quick question (hopefully). Here's the scenario: I am upgrading/redoing my friends website and during maintenance, I would like to display a page to indicate that the website will be offline for an hour or two via a 302 redirect. But, here's the catch: I do not my IP to be redirected to the offline page so I can work on the website without disruption. Is this possible? I would do a deny from all except allow my IP but then I'm afraid about bots being denied and with a 302 direct, I don't think the bots would care much. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys! |

couple ways to do this I'd assume. I would attack the <Directory> container
| Code: |
<Directory /bla/bla/bla>
Options whatever
AllowOverride FileInfo whatever-else
ErrorDocument 403 /maintenance.html
Order Deny, Allow
Deny from all
Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <- your IP
# because the entire directory is disallowed, allow the
# maintenance.html file specifically so it doesn't 403 as well
<Files "maintenance.html">
Order Allow, Deny
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory> |
Should work, but others may have a better way. It will pollute the error log with "client denied access by confuration to /bla/bla/bla" |
