I am trying to get a landing page to work while I am doing scheduled updates on my site.
So basically all my original files will still exist in the directory including my index.php
file but I’ve added another index1.html
, so whenever I do an update I just want to be able to un-comment a line in my .htaccess
file and everything will redirect to the landing page.
In my .htaccess
file I have:
Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index1.html?path=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
This works for me in so far as any file or sub-directory I go to like example.com/whatever
will redirect but example.com
will still go to the original index.php
which is what I want to be updating.

This line did exactly what I wanted:
DirectoryIndex index1.html
