Configure Apache to gracefully replace dynamic site

    Hi.

    I have a website, where the host has decided that the best thing to do, is to create a (poor) static copy of the site, probably because of security concerns. I need to create a temporary placeholder.

    So I'll have index.html, logo.png, logo.svg, missing.html and robots.txt. All 404s, should be redirected to missing.html temporarily, or maybe a 503 should be returned, with the (content of) missing.html.

    How can I do this in an Apache configuration file? It has its own VirtualHost.

    Thanks,

    Morten

    Can you change your hosting company?

    Well, I guess they have good reasons to disable the dynamic site. I've missed getting some communication about it though, I discovered it randomly when another service they provide was unavailable.

    And yes, I will change the hosting company.

    But what do you guys think, is it better to do a temporary redirect on content that is missing, or should I go for a 503?
