I need to get my site offline for a short periode (several times). Is there an easy way to do this?

You could temporarily substitute your own index.php in place of the standard one in the root of your eZ site - the rewrite rules force all page accesses to go through this file. This would be useful for, say, database maintenance etc. Your own file could display a message informing visitors that the site is temporarily offline. You could even write a simple script to swap around your own index.php with the production Exponential version.

Or an apache rewrite rule which directs any request to a static html page, that's what I do (which requires a restart of the apache daemon)
