Rewrite Rule Link Issue

[CarraraWebsiteSolutions]

While I am on my maintenance mode I still would like to view my sub folder that I have for testing.

currently it goes straight to maintenace page

test area <!-- would like to view test folder link but when type in still redirects to maintenance page
http://www.example.com/test/index.php


maintenance area
http://www.example.com/maintenance/index.html

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance/index.html$ 
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^***\.***\.**\.***
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule $ /maintenance/index.html [R=302,L]

And again you posted in the wrong section of the forum.

Moved.

I thought would let you know I just did a bit of Googling around and found this got it to work Just add that below RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/test3
RewriteRule .+ - [L]

[__]

If

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^***\.***\.**\.***

then why does it matter which page you’re requesting? Wouldn’t you like to be able to see the entire site while you’re in testing mode?

BTW your “solution”

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/test3
RewriteRule .+ - [L]

will allow anyone to view the /test3 folder while your site is in “maintenance mode,” not just you.

Also, this

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

makes this

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance/index.html$ 

redundant (since index.html is, presumably, a file).

With this RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^..**.*** I have just put asterisks there so know one can see my ip I have my own custom ip
