View "Down For Maintenance" page new images - site is not down

After looking and searching admin/server and this forum, I am unable to find the "down_for_maintenance" page.

I just changed the images on there and want to check it out without putting the site in maintenance mode.

What's the URL for this page? Thanks!

Re: View "Down For Maintenance" page new images - site is not down

aha - since our site is located in the "store" folder it would be this URL - yet it redirects back to .com/store

.com/store/index.php?main_page=down_for_maintenance

I have Magic SEO installed on 1.3.8a - would this have this effect of an unknown page redirect back to the main page?

Yes, Magic SEO is the problem.

The best way to learn is to try stuff. But, back it up first.

Re: View "Down For Maintenance" page new images - site is not down

through htaccess I should be able to disallow the redirect correct?

I just tried the url on 2 dev stores that do not have Magic SEO installed and it still redirects to the /index.php?main_page=index

Right, the redirect to main_page=index if the site's not set for "down for maintenance" and you try to display the down_for_maintenance page is stock Zen Cart behavior.

Update: If you go to your admin's Configuration->Down for Maintenance and set the "Down For Maintenance (exclude this IP-Address)" to your IP address (look in the admin header if you don't know what it is), then when **you **access to your shop's down_for_maintenance page it will result in the display of that page.

Re: View "Down For Maintenance" page new images - site is not down

Ah - good to know.
Admin>Config>Web Maintenance

Though the page I am trying to see is when the host/server goes down and it's a white screen with the logo and maintenance.gif only.

Is that available to view unless the hosting company/server is truly down?

There's a file /nddbc.html that's displayed if there's a problem connecting connecting to your database ...

Re: View "Down For Maintenance" page new images - site is not down

Excellent Thank You lat9.

Solved - When the database/hosting goes down the page displayed is:
site.com/nddbc.html

But when just the store itself is under maintenance, then the display is in the main page triggered by
Admin>Configuration->Down for Maintenance
