Help with capistrano and nginx

I'm using nginx with capistrano to deploy my Rails app and I'm having a hard time getting the maintenance capistrano task (deploy:web:disable) to work like I want. I want nginx to redirect all requests to public/maintenance-on.html if the file exists, however, since I use stylesheets and images on this file, nginx should serve them. Here's what I have so far on nginx.conf:

if (-f $document_root/public/maintenance-on.html) {   rewrite ^(.*)$ /maintenance-on.html last;   break; }

How could I make this not match urls containing /stylesheets/ and / images/?

Thanks in advance

Thanks, but the group seems kinda dead. None else has a similar problem?

Not sure if this helps at all, but taking a shot in the dark (I didn’t read your original post):

Not really what I'm looking for. I'm starting to think there's no way to do this, hasn't anybody ever wanted to add images to their maintenance pages?

Thanks, working on the regexp would probably work. In this case it almost worked, the maintenance is displayed on the index, and the images work, but other internal pages still show up.

Any ideas?
