Hello all..

I want change httpd.conf file for customized 404 error page! I did it..
I have changed httpd.conf line to "ErrorDocument 404 /error/missing.html "
missing.html file is my customized html file...
but When I entered a fake page for looking error results so its showing old message in browser, like "Not Found The requested URL /mambo/fsd was not found on this server.Apache/2.0.52 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.0.52 OpenSSL/0.9.7e PHP/5.0.3 Server at xxx.xxxx.xxxx... Port 80"

Why It isn't attempt to view for missing.html ??
and Why xampp directory have 2 httpd.conf file ?? (C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf) and (C:\xampp\php\httpd5.conf)

note: I am using php5..

Regards...

You have read this page?

<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
IfModule mod_include.c>
...
ErrorDocument 404 /error/missing.html

This line have only an effect, if mod_negotation is loaded. Only with mod_negotation you can use the URL "/error" and path "\xampp\apache\error".

Change line ~854 instead:

#
# Customizable error responses come in three flavors:
# 1) plain text 2) local redirects 3) external redirects
#
# Some examples:
#ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo."
ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"
#ErrorDocument 402 http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html
#

filepath in this example: "\xampp\htdocs\missing.html"

Please can someone show me step-by-step which files i should change to get custom 404 error message please, i followed all this but still cannot get it work.
Please if you can help me thanks

this is what i have

Code: Select all

Apache/2.0.52 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.0.52 OpenSSL/0.9.7e PHP/5.0.3 Server

Please. someone help me thanks

Make whatever custom 404 error page you want, and save as "404.html" in htdocs.
Then, just make a file called ".htaccess" and put it in htdocs folder. It has to be a plain-text file, with these lines:

Code: Select all

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
ErrorDocument 403 /403.html

and so on..... for whichever error code you want to customize.


No need to edit httpd.conf now, as whatever you have in htdocs will propagate to all folders below it.
