How to setup a maintenance page in cakePHP – this is one of the ways:

Create new model:
app/models/offline.php

Create new controller:
app/controllers/offlines_controller.php

layout = ''; //empty layout - an example //$this->layout = 'header_only'; // I use my header-only layout which shows page header on the top } } ?>

Create new view:
app/views/offlines/index.ctp

 We are currently taking care of your data. Please check back later.

and add following line on the top of
app/config/routes.php

//MAINTENANCE - uncomment when maintenance Router::connect('*', array('controller' => 'offlines', 'action' => 'index'));

When this line is left uncommented then all requests are redirected to the app/views/offlines/index.ctp page.

Hope this helps.
