Read-only site
For a general description of read-only, we recommend Read-only on Wikipedia.
Howto
You can temporarily make your eZ publish site read-only, for example when
- you're moving it to another server
- you want to upgrade it to a new major release, but because you don't want to have a downtime you made a copy of it on which you will run the upgrade script and which will become the new "production" site
Use the following site access rule settings in settings/override/site.ini.append.php to make your site read-only. Note that this also affects the administration interface.
[SiteAccessRules] Rules[] Rules[]=access;disable Rules[]=moduleall Rules[]=access;enable Rules[]=module;content/view Rules[]=module;content/download Rules[]=module;content/search Rules[]=module;content/advancedsearch Rules[]=module;user/login Rules[]=module;user/logout
Depending on the functionality of your site, you can still choose to allow access to other modules and views, like user/preferences.
Known bugs
- #9953: website root / disabled although access to the content/view module is enabled (fixed in 3.9.1, 3.8.7, 3.7.10, 3.6.12)
