UNIX Error Pages

.htaccess style error pages

In the root of your website (/www) you can create a file named .htaccess with lines for each error code and what page they should go to.

ErrorDocument 403 /error.html
ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.php

In that example, attempts to load pages that are "forbidden" (usually by access control) will see error.html located in your /www folder. Also in that example, attempts to load pages that no longer exist will display the php file notfound.php also located in /www.

The older style of error pages are no longer recommended as Internet Explorer will override display of error pages using this method.


Default Error HTML Pages (Old Style)
(This method only works on our old servers using Zeus. Newer accounts should use the above listed method.)
To install custom error pages for your site place a file in /etc/errpages named

XXX.html

where XXX is the error code, ex.

403.html

In that file, you will place the info of what you want to display as an error.

For example. To display a custom page if a page is missing would be 404.html since a missing page is a 404 error.
