Changing the root directory? +REP

[myke]

Hey guys, say I wanted my site to go to maintenance page instead of index.html

How would I do it?

thx x

Just put this in index.html

<script>
window.location="maintenancepage.html";
</script>
There's a way to do it with meta tags, but I can't remember it.

OR put this in index.php


header("Location: maintenancepage.html");

Or on cpanel go to Domains > Redirects.

Select your domain from the drop down and put maintenancepage.html in the 'Redirects to-->' Box. Leave redirect with or without www ticked.

I usually do this through cPanel. Redirects smooth and good :P

Use cPanel, as you don't want to go through all pages adding that code. Alternatively use your .htaccess, and make a rewrite rule.

FYI the <meta> tag way is: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;page.html" />

Bold being seconds until it redirects, underline being where to redirect to.
