I need to serve an under construction page until a specific date, but I will be out of the country on the day the new content needs to display, and for a week and a half after (I know, first world problems...)
What I currently have serving the under_construction page in my httpd-vhosts.conf file.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ \
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/\
http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/under_construction/VirtualHostRoot$1 [L,P]
What I would like to use is below, but I don't fully understand how it should work, and of course it isn't working properly because it isn't configured properly. I have tried changing out the time string to get it to change a few minutes after the restart, but the configuration is probably not right to begin with.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ \
RewriteCond ^{TIME} < 201304220000
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/\
http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/under_construction/VirtualHostRoot$1 [L,P]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ \
RewriteCond ^{TIME} > 201304220000
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/\
http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/content/VirtualHostRoot$1 [L,P]
Am I at least on the right track? Also, besides localhost:80/server-status, is there any way to see the status of Apache (date, time, etc.), from Terminal for instance? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Spaces are not allowed between the comparison operator and the CondPattern
RewriteCond %{TIME} <20130422000000
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ \
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/\
http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/under_construction/VirtualHostRoot$1 [L,P]
RewriteCond %{TIME} >=20130422000000
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ \
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/\
http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/content/VirtualHostRoot$1 [L,P]
Also don't forget to use >= or <=, depending on whether you want to switch on that day or a day later.
