Re: htaccess for maintenance

How can I get clean url’s working and still keep my index.html for those who doesn’t know about my other sections?

Hi Joel,
Just add this line in the ‘normal’ textpattern .htacces file:

RewriteRule ^$ index.html [L]
It has to be put right under the RewriteEngine On line

You can then access your new txp site with sitename.com/index.php and all normal traffic (to sitename.com) gets the static index.html page.

This is very handy because with adding one # you can open the new site

#RewriteRule ^$ index.html [L]

This is the first thing I do when I am working on a (new) txp site and want a simple ‘working on it, come back later’ note.

Re: htaccess for maintenance

You mean like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

By using this I get directly to the index.php. When commenting out the last line I get an error on opening index.html

Please… help me back on track here :)

is your site in a subfolder or in the domain root?

Re: htaccess for maintenance

It’s in here:

/hsphere/local/home/user/domain.com/

I guess this is the root. Not a subdomain anyway.
