URL Mapping - ApacheCon 2005
Error documents in Apache 2.0
  • Apache 2.0 has a new way of handling ErrorDocument that will mean much more customizable error messages, rather than the same old boring "Document Not Found" errors.

  • In you Apache 2.0 default configuration file, you will see the following:

    
 <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
 <IfModule mod_include.c>
    Alias /error/ "@@ServerRoot@@/error/"
    		  
    
    <Directory "@@ServerRoot@@/error">
        AllowOverride None
        Options IncludesNoExec
        AddOutputFilter Includes html
        AddHandler type-map var
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        LanguagePriority en es de fr
        ForceLanguagePriority Prefer Fallback
    </Directory>
    		  
    
    ErrorDocument 400 /error/HTTP_BAD_REQUEST.html.var
    ErrorDocument 401 /error/HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED.html.var
    ... etc ...
    ErrorDocument 506 /error/HTTP_VARIANT_ALSO_VARIES.html.var
    		  
    
 </IfModule>
 </IfModule>
