Web Site Error Page

[whoahorse]

Does anyone know the coding to this?

 

I'd like people to see this when they come to a broken link at my photo website.

 

Thanks!

Hi Weezy,

If I understand you correct, you will need to make a normal html page and then add this to your .htaccess

 

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.tch-hosted-domain.com/yourerrorpage.html

Almost correct. Better is:

 

>ErrorDocument 404 yourerrorpage.html

 

If you specify a domain name for the error document, the web server will always redirect you to the error page, and thus effectively return error 301 instead of 404.

# -FrontPage-

 

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

 

<Limit GET POST>

order deny,allow

deny from all

allow from all

</Limit>

<Limit PUT DELETE>

order deny,allow

deny from all

</Limit>

AuthName www.hoofprints.ca

AuthUserFile /home/photos/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd

AuthGroupFile /home/photos/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

 

 

------------------------------

Above is my .htaccess file, where do I enter that info?

 

Thanks for all your help guys!

Thanks.

Now I learned something new.

On TCH servers just create your error pages with the extension .shtml

e.g. 404.shtml, 301.shtml

and the user will be redirected to the proper page. The only issue you might have is with subdomains. If you do you can just drop a copy of your error pages in that directory.

YAY IT WORKED - THANKS!!!!!!!

 

Is there any other numbered error pages I should make?

 

THAT IS PERFECT for what I needed Dick!

I have error pages for 403, 404, and 500 errors - that ought to cover most of the errrors that your readers might see.
