I went ahead and both shutdown the old Apache on the old frontend and started up an Nginx on it with a configuration to load a simple Site Moved page returning 503. This can be easily changed. But it should at least alert people that they are at the wrong place now. Bob server { root /var/www/site-moved; location / { return 503; } location /floating.png { # Allow this path. } error_page 503 @moved; location @moved { rewrite .* /sitemoved.html break; } }
