Custom Error Pages Using .htaccess

Shadab · 11-06-2007

The conventional / standard error pages that a web server outputs,
gives little info to the end user, and can be a reason for the user to leave your website.

So, using a .htaccess file, uploaded to your document root,
you can specify custom pages to show up, when an error occurs.

Heres how.

In your .htaccess file,
you have to put and entry like this :

Code:

ErrorDocument Error_Code_Number Path/to/your/custom/error/file

Some sample entries are as follows :

Code:

ErrorDocument 400 /400.htm
ErrorDocument 401 /401.htm
ErrorDocument 403 /403.htm
ErrorDocument 404 /404.htm
ErrorDocument 500 /500.htm

These custom error pages can also serve as advertising spots.

Welcome. (after a time interval of 7 months. LOL).

Btw, you made a spelling mistake, in the word "Custm" (custom)
But i guess it's too late to make that change !
