URL Mapping - ApacheCon 2005
Error documents
  • However, if the file is not there ...

  • Maps an error condition to a more useful error message

    
 ErrorDocument 404 /cgi-bin/404.cgi
    		  
    
 ErrorDocument 404 http://www.errors.com/
    		  
    
 ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html
    		  
    
 # Apache 1.3
 ErrorDocument 403 "You need to log in first
    		  
    
 # Apache 2.0
 ErrorDocument 403 "You need to log in first"
    		  

  • In Apache 1.3, when you specify a string argument to ErrorDocument, you start with quotes, but do not close the quotes on the end of the string.

  • In Apache 2.0, you need to close the quotes.
