I want to put my webpage into maintenance so I replace my original htaccess file with this:
ErrorDocument 403 /maintenance/maintenance.php
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 111.222.333.444
Have read a lot of threads before posting and this is what i gathered would be the correct solution, but I don´t get it to work. If I don´t allow from my own IP I get an Error 500 (meaning that that is what my visitors would see) and if I do use my IP I get and Error 403 (and I dont even reach my maintenance page it sais I´m not allowed there either).
What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.
Found the solution that worked for me.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#ip is not your ip. Change ip to see maintenance page
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^111\.222\.333\.444$
#requests made not to maintenance.php ...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance\.php$
#rewrite to maintenance.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /maintenance.php [L]
The .htaccess you posted works for me with Allow from 127.0.0.1
, but you need an additional .htaccess in the maintenance
directory, allowing access to the maintenance.php
error document
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Try my tips, paste this code into the .htaccess
of your site, to make all the pages of your domain remapping into /maintenance.html
file, if the viewer's I.P. isn't the same as yours:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^000\.111\.222\.333
RewriteCond ^(.*) /maintenance.html
Keep noted that the numbers 000\.111\.222\.333
must be changed as your I.P. address, and create a /maintenance.html
file where your pages will be remapped.
