Authorization Required

[TCH-Thomas]

Not sure if this is correct place...

 

Been thinking that the normal Authorization required page is so boring.

 

Is it possible to change it and then add something similar in .htaccess to what i did when i made my custom 404-page?

 

404-page

ErrorDocument 404 Http://www.marve.se/error404.html

 

For Authorization required, would that be

ErrorDocument 401 Http://www.marve.se/error401.html

 

Am i correct or completely...?

That's how you would do it.

Hey, Im beginning to learn this.

[TCH-Thomas]

Havent tried it yet, but thanks in advance.

 

Got a little happy so i forgot to say it. Sorry.

[TCH-Thomas]

Tried it. Doesnt work.

[LisaJill]

Try like this, it works on my site;

 

>ErrorDocument 401 /error401.html

 

That *should* do it... =)

[DarqFlare]

Yeah, it works for me.. Odd..

 

Let us know if Lisa's works. If not, then you may want to put in a support ticket.

So far i have tried:

 

ErrorDocument 401 Http://www.marve.se/error401.html

ErrorDocument 401 Http://www.marve.se/staff/error401.html

ErrorDocument 401 Http://staff.marve.se/error401.html

ErrorDocument 401 /error401.html

ErrorDocument 401 /error401.shtml

 

None of them works.

Guess its time for the trouble ticket.

 

Thanks everyone involved though

Thomas, have you tried naming the file 401.shtml and placing it in the folder you want protected.

 

Also you don't need to add anything to the .htaccess file for this to work.

 

Also the document must be at least 512 bytes.

Will check that. Ive tried so many things now i dont remeber if it was placed in the staff folder i want protected.

 

Back later

I have now gotten marve.se/staff to show what i want but not as a subdomain staff.marve.se

 

Can this be done? Or will just the subfolder way work?

[TCH-Bruce]

Which method finally worked for you?

[TCH-Thomas]

I just put a error401.html in public_html (no subfolder) and that ErrorDocument 401 /error401.html in .htaccess and poof it started to work. Not sure what i did.

But still have the problem to have it show up when going to staff.marve.se and not marve.se/staff.

[TCH-Bruce]

Put a copy of error401.html in the sub folder as well. I had to do this to make it work with a 404 error doc.

[TCH-Thomas]

Will i need to put a ErrorDocument 401 /error401.html in subdomain "staff" .htaccess too?

[TCH-Bruce]

No, you shouldn't. Just a copy of the document. Well, let me rephrase that. I create the files with .shtml extensions and I don't need them. You on the other hand are using the .html extension which must be redirected.

 

Try it without a .htaccess file and see what happens. Then if that doesn't work either create a .htaccess file in that folder and add your redirect or rename the file 410.shtml.

I also get the Authorization Required page - when people try to log in to my members page with an invalid password. Here's what they see:

<

Authorization Required

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

 

Additionally, a 302 Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I did make a new 401.shtml page, but you can only see what it says if you view source.

What I would like to do now is redirect the attemped theives to another website, and keep that within the frames of my site.

I tried doing a redirect of the 401 page, but it didn't seem to do anything at all.

 

Any suggestions?
