Temporarily change default page filename from index.php to indexpreview.php?
Hi,
We took down a site a few months ago for redevelopment which we worked on in a subfolder. I'm now getting ready to launch it and have copied all the files in the root directory ready to go. We're not quite ready to launch it and so the holding page still displays by default (index.htm). The problem is that google still seems to be remembering the old site with the index.php address. I've changed the filename from index.php to indexpreview.php but all the links still refer to index.php. Is there a file somewhere where I can temporarily change the filename so people can't access the site from the search engines? Eg so a link could be:
http://www.website.com/indexpreview.php?main_page=index&cPath=2
Many thanks,
Richard
