Hello members.
Is there a way to take the wiki offline (and freeze operations)? I have seen the practice of creating a special file (e.g. offline.htm) in the installation root directory; does something similar exist in DokuWiki?
One occasion where this functionality would be useful is when taking backups.
Thanks,

I'm having some grammar issues... What do you mean exactly by "take offline"?
If it is take offline as in "this wiki server has went offline for maintenance operations", you can always do something like close the wiki to public access using the Configuration Manager, and then substitude the Login action (that part I don't remember how). That way the wiki is essentially frozen until you re-enable open access and restore the Login action. Simply creating a "offline" root page won't work because the wiki content and actions will still be accesible through URL parameters.
I don't know of any automated mechanism to do this but because of the levle of operation I would expect something like this to be managed at the server software layer.
