I used the example above and it works...but it only works if the user is going to the home page. I'm not a web guy so bear with me, but what I'm trying to say is that if the user goes to:

www.site.com

and the site is down it redirects it to the apology page.

But if the user goes to www.site.com/site/default.aspx then it doesn't redirect. Is there a way to make it so if the user goes to "any" URL within the site that it will redirect to the apology page? I can actually make that work using a basic apology page, but I can't get it to work with this example that uses the ifile to call the image.

What I can get to work is: 


when LB_FAILED {
if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1 } {
           HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "sharepoint_apology"]
    } else { discard } 
}
...but that doesn't allow me to display an image.

What I'm currently using is: 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if {[active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1} {
      switch [HTTP::uri] {
         "/" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "sharepoint_apology"] }
         "/sharepoint_apology_pic" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "sharepoint_apology_pic"] }
      }
}
}
Thanks,

David

    Hi! You need to tell browser what is the content of your files. My examples: when HTTP_REQUEST { if { ([active_members /E_Click/clk2_app]) < 1 || ([active_members /E_Click/clk2_login]) < 1} { switch [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { "/facebook.png" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "facebook.png"] "Content-Type" "image/jpeg" } "/link_separator.gif" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "link_separator.gif"] "Content-Type" "image/gif" } "/logo.gif" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "logo.gif"] "Content-Type" "image/gif" } "/logo2.gif" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "logo2.gif"] "Content-Type" "image/gif" } "/logo3.gif" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "logo3.gif"] "Content-Type" "image/gif" } "/logo4.gif" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "logo4.gif"] "Content-Type" "image/gif" } "/offline_click.jpg" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "offline_click.jpg"] "Content-Type" "image/jpeg" } "/ppl.jpg" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "ppl.jpg"] "Content-Type" "image/jpeg" } "/t.gif" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "t.gif"] "Content-Type" "image/gif" } "/twitter.png" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "twitter.png"] "Content-Type" "image/png" } "/vkontakte.jpg" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "vkontakte.jpg"] "Content-Type" "image/jpeg" } "/" { HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "click_not_available.htm"] "Content-Type" "text/html" } } } else { HTTP::respond 302 Location "https://xxxxxxxxxx.ru/" } }
