Hi once again:
I'm just on the verge to upgrade my phpBB2 to Icy. The point is that, and excuse if it seems an obvious question, in the installation first steps. Some time ago I tried to do what it says, I mean, disabling the forum via the phppBB2 ACP. The trouble is that, once done that, when I call the update_to_ip.php it appears the phpBB2 automessage which announce the forum is disabled. I suppose I'm ignoring something basic, but I can't guess what it might be.
Nonetheless, the Hosting guys have told ne there's another option aside of this and, truth to be told, I think it's more attractive than the phpbb2 auto banner, which is what I guess it will show if I managed to make it well. Of course, this optin would be, on literal words, "you may consider to redirect all traffic which didn't come from your IP to a temporal page (an HTML, for instance) using redirections (mod_rewrite) in the .htaccess". The point is, as far as I understand from their message, this configuration depends on me to be done and the problem is that I don't know how to do that. Can anybody hand me a wire? Any info would be welcome, some informative link about this topic or something similar could fit, please.
Thanks in advance for your time and attention.
