        !            29: Document Root with a temporary page announcing unavailability of LON-CAPA service on that particular server. It is strongly recommended that access to the corresponding ``Online - restore Log-in'' page is set to allow access from your IP address so that you can visit that page to re-enable the standard index.html page (e.g., when maintenance is complete) if you use the Offline page to replace it.  
        !            30: \item Online: restore Log-in page - replace the temporary index.html page with the standard index.html (which redirects to /adm/roles -- which will display the log-in page unless the
