Redirecting multiple webpages in a directory to one webpage.

With my site under construction, I want users to end up at my site that says something like "webpage is under construction," this would apply to every site they attempt to visit in my directory.

Is it possible to do this with javascript (I would like to avoid having to put redirecting codes in all the webpages in my directory, I have at most 100 pages in there, and I don't have the time to do it one after another, and I don't want this redirecting to conflict with the updating process).

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

If your on Apache:

Use .htaccess to redirect all access requests in a directory to a specific page. You should be able to do it with:

Redirect /path/to/directory /path/to/underconstruction.html

/path/to/underconstruction.html can also be a HTTP URL.

What if my server doesn't support Apache? Mine don't. Is there another way of accomplishing this?

Thanks,

Sabrina,

Apache is the most popular web server available. Why? Because it’s free source and free to use for both personal and commercial purposes. (www.apache.org)

I would say it’s safe say there’s a 90% chance your web host is running Apache. But you’ll have to find out, as I don’t have any experience with redrival.com.

Good luck.

Well,
at least netcraft says you are running apache:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/graph?display=uptime&site=redrival.com&find_site=GO

And they are usually right.
