Chammock, you rename it before you do the upgrade.

Wildfiction, I just tested it and I also got an error404... ;-(
See below:

 

The webpage cannot be found
 HTTP 404
 

Most likely causes:

  • There might be a typing error in the address.
  • If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.
 

What you can try:
 

Retype the address.

 

Go back to the previous page.

 

Go to SITE NAME and look for the information you want.

 

What is the trick ???
Chammock, what do you mean by: "If I put in the file name at the end of the domain I see it OK". I do not understand, and I was not able to reproduce it and having something working correctly.

Wildfiction, if you rename it and someone hit your website ?... This is what I am frighten about (because I have an average of 2000 hits/hour - so why not someone hitting the site at this very important moment... But anyway, it would be better than nothing, if I manage to make it running) ??

The App_Offline.htm needs to be in the root folder of the web site. If there, then it will disable the rest of the web. Depending on your set-up and hosting arrangements you may need to put it somewhere else but obviously I cannot guess where it should go. These 2 postings from Scott Guthrie might help:

In your web.config file you should set AutoUpgrade (or something like that) to false so that you can kick the upgrade off yourself.

ver 4.3.1 (to 8 July 2006) ver 4.3.2 (to 20 July 2006) ver 4.3.3 (to 5 Aug 2006) ver 4.3.4 (to 20 Sep 2006) ver 4.3.5 (to 25 Dec 2006) ver 4.4.0 (to date)

This could be your problem:

One thing I pointed out in the talk that you want to keep an eye on is a feature of IE6 called "Show Friendly Http Errors".  This can be configured in the Tools->Internet Options->Advanced tab within IE, and is on by default with IE6.  When this is on, and a server returns a non HTTP-200 status code with less than 512 bytes of content, IE will not show the returned HTML and instead substitutes its own generic status code message (which personally I don't think is super friendly <g>).

So if you use the app_offline.htm feature, you should make sure you have at least 512 bytes of content within it to make sure that your HTML (instead of IE's friendly status message) shows up to your users.  If you don't want to have a lot of text show-up on the page, one trick you can use is to just add an html client-side comment with some bogus content to push it over 512 bytes.

ver 4.3.1 (to 8 July 2006) ver 4.3.2 (to 20 July 2006) ver 4.3.3 (to 5 Aug 2006) ver 4.3.4 (to 20 Sep 2006) ver 4.3.5 (to 25 Dec 2006) ver 4.4.0 (to date)

MARVELOUS wildfiction !!! IT WORKS ! There was this error message because of my test App_offline.htm which was less than 512bytes...
Now, it works with more than this size ! PERFECT !

So, one last question and I will know everything on this topic; you said: "so that you can kick the upgrade off yourself".
How do I do this ?
