Title: How to disable an ibay?
Post by: ElFroggio on July 31, 2013, 02:38:03 AM

Hi,

SME8 (current). I have a few websites in multiples ibays.

I'd like to disable a couple of them. I don't want to delete them because they may be reactivated at later stage.

How can I disable a website/ibay?

Thanks

Not sure if its what you want but in the "Create, modify, or remove i-bays" window of the server-manager you can set the access rights for users and public

Public - No Access

Set group access to a group with just you..
or
Make a group - noaccess, no users in the group - set its access to that group

There will be others...

Have a good read of http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter14#Information_Bays_.28i-bays.29 as well

Hi,

Is there a way of displaying a custom page that says "The website is not currently operating..." or something like that?

Thanks

put an index.html file into the html folder with the desidered message..
be aware that in this way you can't "disable" the web features of the ibay and so each web page will be available (think about bookmarks)

Thanks

Depending on the structure of the web content that is in the ibay, you could leave the ibay enabled for web access, add a new index.html with your message, and then use this howto
http://wiki.contribs.org/Htaccess
to block access to subfolders.

Alternatively if a domain name is used to access the ibay, & that domain is configured in the Domains panel in server manager, then you could point that domain at a newly created but empty ibay that just has the message you want to display in the index.html file.
