To use your own error page you must first create
the page you want displayed. All error pages may be created through
the cpanel control panel. The cpanel control panel is located by
typing http://www.yourdomainname.com/cpanel , then logging in with
your user name and password.
|
| The Error Documents you may customize along
with a brief description are: |
- 400 - Bad request. This document is displayed
when a visitor requests a page that has been removed or the visitor
mistyped the URL extention
- 401 - Authorization Required. This document is displayed when a visitor supplies an incorrect username/password to a restricted area of your web site.
- 403 - Forbidden. This document is displayed when a visitor tries to access
an area of your web site which you have specifically forbidden access.
- 404 - File Not Found. This document is displayed when a visitor requests a specific page and the page is no longer available (renamed or deleted).

For a complete description of the ErrorDocument Directive see http://www.apache.org/
For example, assuming a page called test.html does not exist in your
site, enter into your browsers address bar http://www.domainname.com/test.html.
Your new error page will be displayed. |
I've created my error page as instructed, but it is not displayed. |
The Internet Explorer generic message is displayed instead of my custom
error page.
Microsoft assumes you would rather see their 404 message instead of
the 404 message designed by the web site owner. Internet Explorer is
currently shipping with this default. To change the default setting: |
- Load Internet Explorer
- On the menu bar choose Tools > Internet Options ...
- Click on the Advanced tab.
-
Under the Browsing section; uncheck the box that says 'Show friendly
HTTP error messages'
- Click 'OK'
