The basic idea is to use mod_alias: Redirect 503 / However, if you want to define a nice error document it gets a bit complicated. You have to avoid that the error document generates a 503, too. You need some regex magic for this task (only httpd 2.0 and later because of the more advanced PCRE engine): ErrorDocument 503 /foo.html RedirectMatch 503 ^/(?!foo\.html) (something like this, it's untested, but it shows the principle) nd -- Winnetous Erbe: <http://pub.perlig.de/books.html#apache2> --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
