Hi everyone, I am closing my site until I switch hosts and I was trying to get a .htaccess redirect to work but it just wont...

here is what I have so far:

deny from all

allow from 00.00.000.00
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.raivestudios.com/error/closed.php

I tried that but for some reason my error page doesn't work it appears like this:

Quote

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

The problem here is that you're making your entire site forbidden. That includes the 403 error page. So it's forbidden to see the forbidden error page... sorta ironic really.

What you want to do is make a redirect... like the topic title suggests. There are thousands of topics you can look at on how to go about that... then just use a wildcard for anything, and redirect to what ever page you want to say "we're moving."
