Separate 404, 401 Etc

[TCH-Thomas]

Been thinking again

 

Can i have separate 404, 401 pages for different subdomains?

 

If so what do i need to do in .htaccess?

 

So far i have done it this way

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

I believe if you take the ErrorDocument 404 out of the .htaccess file and name the error document with a .shtml extension you can put the document in the particular folder you want the error to display for.

 

So if you have a 404.shtml in your public_html folder and then want a different one in you sub domain or other folder just create a different 404.shtml file and place it there.

Alternatively, you can puta different .htaccess into the subdomains folder. That should override the preceding folders .htaccess.

 

So if I wanted to do this, I could have for my main site a .htaccess in public_html that called certain error documents, then a .htaccess in say public_html/lisa (lisa.lisa-jill.com) that would call other error documents.

 

That way you would not be required to stick with the .shtml ending, either.

I thought of Lisas idea but wasnt sure.

You see. you are talking to someone who almost killed the whole site a few days ago cause of some misplaced php.

 

Thanks Bruce and Lisa.

I have broken my site umpteenth million times with .htaccess; I have about 50 copies spread around my hdd to recover from, though. Redundancy, baby...

That's why I don't recommend using the .htaccess file and use the .shtml extension.

*nods* fair 'nuff, but all my pages are php so that's the solution I'd choose. .*grins*

I've got both PHP and SHTML pages, just in case. There have been a few times that it didn't access the PHP and used the SHTML. I just have a META redirect in the SHTML pages that go to the PHP ones. Haha...
