Hi Oliver,
Great! Thanks for pointing the problem.
I have added line as per your suggestion ( with slight change : addition of
slash at start! ) as follows :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/downtime\.html$
And it's working............
Cheers,
Rajendra

Hi Rajendra,
there is the line "RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^downtime\.html$"
missing, because if you can to redirect all URL's to "downtime.html", but you
have to exclude the "downtime.html" itself. If not, this will result in an
infinte loop.
So your new Block will be
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^downtime\.html$
RewriteCond %{TIME_WDAY}%{TIME_HOUR}%{TIME_MIN} >21700
RewriteCond %{TIME_WDAY}%{TIME_HOUR}%{TIME_MIN} <21759
RewriteRule /.* http://<webstite>/downtime\.html
<http://<webstite>/downtime\.html> [R,L]
RewriteRule ^/$ /confluence/ [R]
bye
Oliver

Betreff: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unable to redirect ( using mod_rewrite)
Hi Folks,
I want to do time based rewrite in order to display a Downtime page during
DATABASE maintenance.
Htpd.conf has following settings
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog logs/rewriteLog.log
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteCond %{TIME_WDAY}%{TIME_HOUR}%{TIME_MIN} >21700
RewriteCond %{TIME_WDAY}%{TIME_HOUR}%{TIME_MIN} <21759
RewriteRule /.* http://<webstite>/downtime\.html
<http://<webstite>/downtime\.html> [R,L]
RewriteRule ^/$ /confluence/ [R]
It means on every Sautrday between 2am-3am, any url pointing to our website
should get directed Downtime page. In all other cases, next Rewrite rule should
work!
But whenever I tried to test it; Firefox always fails with following error :
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this
address in a way that will never complete.

Can anybody please help,
thanks,
