I use this script in the .htaccess file to redirect all requests while i upgrade a site

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance.html$ <!--- LINK TO YOUR TEMP PAGE FILE
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^212\.123\.239\.177 <!--- YOUR IP.
RewriteRule $ /maintenance.html [R=302,L]

Hello Will, I have used your method and it works fine.
The only problem now is that my "coming soon" page has an image and a flash element, and for some reason they will not show up.
Do you know why this is happening?
Thank you
Jay

Jay-Dee - this is probably because that rewrite rule says Redirect ALL traffic to the html temp page. Including requests to load css/images. You might need to add another condition to that list which excludes those file types -

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif$)|(\.jpg$)|(\.png$)|(\.css$)|(\.js$)
