One common approach of code migration. Redirect normal users to maintenance page while migration testers carry out production testing after completion. The solution – amend our .htaccess file to redirect all incoming request to maintenance except for request from testers’ office IP address. #.htaccess RewriteEngine on #Check if request is not server_down_message.html and ip is not from testers' ip address #Change xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to your ip address, eg. 202.126.4.10 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/server_down_message.html$ RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #To allow more IP addresses, simply append "RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" under this line #Both conditional are true #Not requesting for server_down_message.html and IP address not from tester. #Redirect to server_down_message.html RewriteRule $ /server_down_message.html [R=302,L] Hope it helps you and good luck with your...
