I heard about a theme with a themed offline page. The site maintenance theme is by default Minneli, but maybe it is possible to make Prosper to the maintenance theme without making the user to modify Drupal files.

I think it is confusing for website users when the website user interface suddenly changes to something else when the site is offline.

Hi gjoellee, what you need to do it edit your settings.php file (/sites/default/settings.php) and at the bottom add this bit of code:

$conf['maintenance_theme'] = 'acquia_prosper';

That will trigger the Acquia Prosper theme to be the default theme seen when a user sees the maintenance page. More information here: http://drupal.org/node/195435

Thanks.
I tried it once before but I got error 500. This does not happen now. Thanks you!

Hello,
to make a acquia prosper page maintenance you need to make this code at the end of settings.php

$conf = array(
  'maintenance_theme' => 'acquia_prosper',
);

and then duplicate the page.tpl.php in the themes folder and rename it to maintenance-page.tpl.php

Worked for me.

Thanks fr34ck, I forgot that last step with creating the custom maintenance-page.tpl.php.
