how do i set index priorty on nginx in order to load index.html before wordpress' .php files
- by orbitalshocK
hello there, gents.
I'm an absolute beginner in linux, the CLI, as well as nginx and wordpress.
i'm trying to make a 'coming soon' landing page that will take priority over the main wordpress installation i just set up. I want to make .html load before php, or get information on the Best Practices approach to this.
I just now realized i could easily use the wordpress' generic "under construction" page and modify it. I'm sure it has one; i'm sure there's a plugin.
Stats
linode 1024
ubuntu 12.04
nginx 1.6.1
single wordpress installation (for now)
set up using easyengine, but going to restart and configure nginx for my linode specifically probably.
I managed to find one piece of instruction on how to change the httpd file to specify priority for apache 2, but did not find the same documentation for nginx. If it's not on the first page of google, then serverfault needs the question answered! Viva la Server Fault first page results!
