Irule maintanance page with ifile

Have you uploaded the images as iFiles too? Also, you'll need to respond based on what is requested if you're going to use them.

See here for an example of this: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/irules.Automatic_maintenance_page___Sorry_page_with_images.ashx

when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::respond 200 content get ifile "error.html" }

you don't forget square bracket around the ifile command, do you?

This mine, working on my BIGIP. If you want to use ifile, you need to get ifile name. Below, I launch 404 ifile (404.html page) and I request each picture in this html page with ifile.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

            used for 404 error page. Send each image png file to 404 HTML page.
            switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]
            {
            "*.png"
            {
            Remove slash and png on /imagexxxx.png and call iFile imagexxxxx
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get [getfield [string range [HTTP::uri] 1 end] "." 1]]
            }
            default {}
            }
            }

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if { [HTTP::status] == 404 } {
            log local0. "Error 404"
            ifile 404 is the HTML page with a reference to photoxxxx.png
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get 404]
   }

Thanks for all comments. I've tried with the brackets before. Also without success.. Apparently I'm doing it wrong. Ifile list within Irules is empty! I select the html file and named it and now I can see the content. Many thanks, I'm going to try to display the images as well..

Hmm, this isn't getting me further. I ended up with something like this: when HTTP_REQUEST { "error.html" {HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get error.html] "Content-Type" "text/html"} "index.css" {HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get index.css] "Content-Type" "text/css"} "logo.gif" {HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get logo.gif] "Content-Type" "image/gif"} } }

But this doesn't show me the maintanance page. Am I on the correct path?

[ifile get error.html]

is error.html ifile object (local traffic > irules > ifile list)?

Yes, it is in the ifile list now.

But this doesn't show me the maintanance page. Am I on the correct path?

there is switch command in the irule similar to Matthieu's example, isn't it?

The difference is that we'd like to schedule the maintanance. So we don't need the

if {[active_members [LB::server pool]] <1}

Statement

We just apply the irule on the VIP.

Why is this not working?

 when HTTP_REQUEST { "error.html" {HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get error.html] "Content-Type" "text/html"} "index.css" {HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get index.css] "Content-Type" "text/css"} "logo.gif" {HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get logo.gif] "Content-Type" "image/gif"} } }

You still need 1) the switch/if context to evaluate the URI, and 2) a default condition to display the html page:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch [HTTP::uri] {
        "/index.css" {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get index.css] "Content-Type" "text/css"
        } 
        "/logo.gif" {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get logo.gif] "Content-Type" "image/gif"
        }
        default {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get error.html] "Content-Type" "text/html"
        }
    }
}
