Before updating a website I always replace the index.php by a maintenance page. After I finished the update I always place the original index.php back again. Because I use mod_rewrite it will always show the maintenance page. I would like to share my maintenance page and maybe make some improvements on this. Maybe someone has suggestions to improve on this. I just center a background image(which contains the message) inside the body to place the message smack in the middle.

Code:
&lt;?php

header("HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable");

header("Status: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable");

header("Retry-After: 86400");

?&gt;

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

  &lt;title&gt;503 - Deze website is tijdelijk niet beschikbaar&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;style&gt;

  body { display:block; padding:0px; margin:0px; height:100%; width:100%; display:block; background:url(http://arie.nl/maintenance.png) center no-repeat #3f3f3f; }

&lt;/style&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Why not do it like us.

In the root have your index.php and your maintenance.php. If you want to do stuff add this line to mod_rewrite at the very top:

Code:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ maintenance.php [L]

When you're done, just comment it until you need to do another maintenance job...

That is also a good option. I use a slightly extended version of my one click deploy system which automatically replaces the index.php files needed and places it back after the update. So I actually don't need to do anything except sit back and relax Big Grin
