I'm working on a template to use for site maintenance. Took a while to figure out that Apache wanted absolute paths, but now everything is working, short of the IP.
I'm trying to allow my IP and the IP of the server (domain) when maintenance is activated, so the maintenance page will only be served to guests. However, I'm also getting served the maintenance page. I suck at regex, so it might be a simple error.
## Maintenance
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# local ip
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^111\.111\.33\.44
# server ip
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^222\.222\.333\.444
# maintenance folder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/maintenance/
RewriteRule .+ - [L]
# maintenance files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpe?g?|png|gif|css|woff|woff2|eot|ttf|svg) [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance/maintenance\.html$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://example.com/maintenance/maintenance.html [R=307,L]
</IfModule>

ErrorDocument 307 /maintenance/maintenance.html
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
#do not cache
Header Set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-store"
</IfModule>
## End Maintenance
# Force HTTPS
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php74” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php74 .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
I managed to figure this out, so in case anyone else who's as bad at regex as I am comes across this, it may help them.
I had two unneeded lines of directives and the ^ was unnecessary or causing problems. $ after IP is to make sure a similar longer IP can't get through. I also switched to a 302 error since it is a temporary redirect for maintenance.
Make sure your folder and html file path is set correctly and uses absolute paths. If you aren't using a folder, the path directly to the html should work. I used a folder because I have images and fonts also loading and like to keep things tidy.
