What does the error log show?

If you use something like:

location / {
   root /some/path;
   try_files maintenance.html $uri $uri/;
   ...;
}

then nginx will look for maintenance.html in the root directory and serve
it if it's present.

So to put our sites into maintenance mode, we simply copy our
maintenance.html into the root directory. No need to reload nginx. When
we're ready to go back up, the file is removed.
