Description

If I'm right, you should be able to specify a HTML page as your splash page so whenever someone goes to http://mysite.com on your Drupal site, they just go to the HTML page rather than accessing Drupal at all...right?

Because I put my HTML page in the WHAT config page of this module and by going to http://mysite.com, it doesn't go there. By going to http://mysite.com/splash.html (that is what I named my HTML file), it works properly.

In the WHAT page, I tried putting in:
splash.html
splash
/splash.html
http://mysite.com/splash.html

None worked

Is this module being supported? I see ALL support requests from 2007 onward are all open...that scares me

What did you choose in the dropdown on the what page? I chose random path and then entered only the path to Drupal's LICENSE.txt file and it loaded fine. What settings do you have on the other pages?

Can you download the latest version and give it a try? There was a bug that may have been interfering with this. If you enter a URL (must be a full absolute URL unless you are using a Drupal path), and set How to redirect, you should get redirected to the URL you entered when you load the site.
