Custom Error Pages

[com693]

Can I define somewhere to load a custom-built error page when an error is encountered?

 

For example, when an Error 404 is encountered by a browser, I would like for the site to load my custom Error 404 page, not a generic one.

 

Thanks.

Further, do I just need to copy and paste the HTML into the custom error page builder?

Take a look here.

Thanks. Just wanted to confirm that there was not a way to simply direct it to an already-built page.

You could rename the file as 404.shtml and put it in your public_html folder.

That did the trick, Marie - exactly what I wanted to do. Points to you!

No problem.

 

(Surprised I actually got something right for a change. Heh.)

There is - you can add the following to your .htaccess file:

>ErrorDocument 404 /my-custom-404.html
