How to setup splash page

[myle...@gmail.com]

Hello

Can some one Please tell me how to setup a splash page in IHS.

I have a website http://10.1.1.10:80/snoop

when ever I am doing maintenance on snoop application,
I want splash page to appear instead of application when users hit the link http://10.1.1.10:80/snoop

How do I implement this?
I have a IHS webserver and websphere application server.
I appreciate your help and valuble suggestions.

Thanks
Lehari.

Hi Lehari,

You can set this option in the httpd.conf

ErrorDocument 500 http://10.1.1.10/down/

And create a index.html in the down directory which shows a down for maintenance screen.
But this will only work if your WebSphere App server is really down. This directive
is just a replacement for your "normal" 500 internal server error.

You also could configure a rewrite rule when your WebSphere App server is down for maintenance.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/snoop$ /down [R,L]

Then all the traffic going to /snoop will be redirected to down directory on your IHS server.

Regards,

Marco

Are you sure that does anything when the AppServer returns a 500?
