Under Construction while working on Elxis Site. [SOLVED]

[ROUBOS]

Hi,
I usualy have an index.html showing an under construction message while working on my Elxis Site, but this time around on this server it is bypassed and the index.php is what shows up?
I changes do I need to make in order to fix this?

[babis1]

open htaccess.txt or .htaccess found that
RewriteEngine On
and after put that
 DirectoryIndex index.html ...so the finall will be
RewriteEngine On
DirectoryIndex index.html

now you have to go to your php site like mydomain.com/index.php and administrator mydomain.com/administrator/index.php (or index2.php)

[wbread]

in configuration is a function to disable the site for users with the ability to login to the administrator
or you have a special page index.html?

It's a server side matter. You must configure your server, to have in 1st priority .html files and secondary .php files. You can ask your provider to do that, if you are not familiar.

Or else... do what wbread said.

tried what babis1 wrote and works sweet. It's only a temp solution until I complete the work.
