Re: Site down config

Hey,

I forgot to mention that the route I suggested has to be the FIRST
route in the routes.php file to catch every route.

Interesting suggestion about the header though! Could you give me an
example of such a header? Would you use a different layout set by the
pages_controller or is there any way to set the header within the view
(maintenance.ctp) or the controller action (e.g. "display" in
pages_controller, where you can switch/case the called page and run
some code like setting the layout...)?

Would be nice to see this once, my own maintenance page does NOT set
any header atm...

Regards,

DD
