how to set up maintenance page

Question

Hi All,

I have written my static HTMl page for use as a maintenance page.

how do i go about getting apache to go to the static page rather than the JIRA login page?

thanks

Based off of your question, you've already setup apache to work as a reverse proxy for Jira I assume.  Your best bet would to put this inside your virtual host section in your apache config.  I don't beleive .htaccess will be an option in this configuration.

Don't forget to enable mod_rewrite with:

a2enmod rewrite

If you are not using apache as a reverse proxy, and only using Jira with the built in Tomcat, this will not work.
