hi,

I was wondering what's the best way to switch a website to a temporary "under costruction" page and switch it back to the new version.

For example, in a website, my customer decided to switch from Joomla to Drupal and I had to create a subfolder for the new CMS, and then move all the content to the root folder.

1) Moving all the content back to the root folder always create some problems with file permissions, links, etc...

2) Creating a rewrite rule in .htaccess or forward with php is not a solution because another url is shown including the top folder.

3) Many host services do not allow to change the root directory, so this is not an option since I don't have access to apache config file.

Thanks
