Follow the step to configure a temporary
'Site Down For Maintenance' page in IBM HTTP Server on windows:
If u want to watch this process click on below link
(or)
This article is based on below link..... I tried one scenario to practice this task.
Normally we
see "page is under Maintenance" when we browse for some websites.
ex:
Sometimes websites
will go to update, modify ...etc. At the time user receives an error. But by
using this scenario we can server one page to user while we r doing website
modification.
Browser--->Web
Server(plug-in)---->Application Server (flow of request).
In above steps we will create one page in WebServer. We will configure
this page to redirect every request when we are under Maintenance.
I hope u got my point. Now we
will do it.
1)First install WebSphere Application
Server, IBM HTTP Server, Plug-in, WCT on your box.
2)Create one deployment manager profile
and one custom profile.
3)Federate the node to dmgr. Create one
server.
4)Configure WAS, IHS, Plug-in.
5)Deploy any one application.
6)Check this application is available
through WebServer.
ex:
http://localhost:80/home.(here
home is my application)
Everything is fine up to now. Think
now my "home" application is under maintenance stage. So I would like
to do it now.
7)First go to directory.
Then Go to "htdocs" folder in it.
8)Create one HTML Page in it like below
lines. Save it as "maintenance.html".
9)Create one empty text file and save it
as "serverdown.txt".
10)Then add below lines in httpd.conf
file(this file path is /conf/httpd.conf).
LoadModule rewrite_module
modules/mod_rewrite.so
RewriteEngine on
ReWriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/serverdown.txt
-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /maintenance.html [PT]
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/serverdown.txt -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /maintenance.html [PT]
11)Then restart IBM HTTP Server.
12)Then open browser. check your maintenance
page is served by IBM HTTP Server or not...
ex:
http://localhost:80/home .
Here we request for
page which is deployed in WebSphere Application Server. But we get maintenance
page.
After completing
modification in application, delete
serverdown.txt file. Then application is available for all users.
