Is it possible to put a magento site under an maintenance flag so that visitors will get a message that the site is under construction? I can't find this setting in the admin area.

Another solution will also be welcome.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

To enable maintenance mode in Magento, just create empty maintenance.flag file in the root of your Magento store.
