Simpler cookbook:
1. Create splash page as a root page for a "temp" site at, say, port 8888.
2. Get the id number for your current root page. Let's imagine that it is
42.
3. Get the id for the splash page. Let's imagine that it is 84.
4. Get the id for the host for the temp site you have created.
OK, you now have:
Current site: (I'm making this up at random -- substitute real numbers here)
host id: 3
root page id: 42
Temp site at port 8888:
host id: 2
root page id: 84
Now, go into mysql and issue the following command:
update page set up='84' where id='42'
You should then be able to delete the current "real" host entry -- it should
have no pages -- but I haven't tried this. You may have to delete it in the
mysql. If so, and if you need the command, let me know.
Change the port on the "temp" host to your real port and -- voila! You
should be there.
