Putting an oscommerce into maintenance mode


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Wondering if I can get some advice on the best way to go about updating an Osc 2.3.3 site.

 

My host is currently updating PHP to 5.5+ and i know that I need to do the updates stated in the release notes of previous installations 1 by 1 on https://www.oscommerce.com/Products.

 

I'd like to know the best way everyone would go about doing these updates on a live site. I would like to display a maintenance page on the website whilst I carry out the file changes needed to bring it up to PHP 5.5+ compatibility but I don't know the best way to go about doing this.

 

Would love anyones advice.

 

Cheers

 I usually put up an index.html page

 

If you really want to stop them from getting past index.php then you can add a redirect in application_top.php.   I don't do it often so I can't tell you off the top of my head how to.

 

Again the index.html works well enough.  But your hosting might not serve it by default.  If it doesn't there is a directive you can add to your .htacess file
