Question

Drupal 8 Maintenace Page

Posted June 26, 2017 4k views
NginxUbuntuDrupal

I used the one-click drupal droplet and then updated via drush to the latest drupal version. I noticed when I put the site into maintenance mode the standard drupal maintenance page and text is not displayed. Instead Im getting an Nginx error page. I would prefer to show the standard drupal maintenance page like intended. Anyone know how I can use drupals built in maintenance page without disturbing Nginx 503 page?

Hi @tjhowe3

I did a little searching and it seems like Drupal sends a 503 error code, when the site is in maintenance, which leads to the default Nginx error shown.

Yea, Im aware of that. Is there a way to display the maintenance page instead of the Nginx 503 page? Thanks for the response.

    Did you follow the link and read the thread?
    Try adding this to your server block. I have no idea if it’ll work, but there are several other examples in the link:

    error_page 503 = @503;
location @503 {
     if ($upstream_http_etag) {
         return 200;
     }
}

      Thanks. I had seen it previously and was kinda confused by it. Mainly the post about the whole Drupal hook crap. I’ll try one of the examples and see what happens… I just figured there might be cleaner solution. My first time using Nginx and kind of sad to see that feature of Drupal not working out of the box. I guess I’m just use to apache.
