Apache custom error pages

RHochstenbach · Apr 14, 2010

I'm having a problem using custom error pages in Apache. The default folder is located at /usr/local/apache, but I've set up Virtual Hosts. My website is located in the folder /var/www/vhosts/techlifezone.com/httpdocs/ Now I have a folder called 'errordocs' in the root folder of both websites with HTML files containing custom error messages. But now I want to configure Apache to use those files as error pages.

So in my httpd.conf I've added the following:

Code:

<directory "/var/www/vhosts/techlifezone.com/httpdocs">
    ErrorDocument 500 /errordocs/error500.html
    ErrorDocument 404 /errordocs/error404.html
    ErrorDocument 401 /errordocs/error401.html
    ErrorDocument 403 /errordocs/error403.html
    ErrorDocument 408 /errordocs/error408.html
    ErrorDocument 400 /errordocs/error400.html   
    AllowOverride All
    Options Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks
</directory>

I've also restarted Apache, but it still ignores the settings and displays a simple "page not found" message. The HTML files are all chmodded to 775. It works fine with my other website (royhochstenbach.nl) Am I doing something wrong?

It's Apache 2.2 running on CentOS.

My full httpd.conf file:

Code:

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
#   Direct modifications to the Apache configuration file may be lost upon subsequent regeneration of the       #
#   configuration file. To have modifications retained, all modifications must be checked into the              #
#   configuration system by running:                                                                            #
#       /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update                                                    #
#   To see if your changes will be conserved, regenerate the Apache configuration file by running:              #
#       /usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_apache_conf                                                                 #
#   and check the configuration file for your alterations. If your changes have been ignored, then they will    #
#   need to be added directly to their respective template files.                                               #
#                                                                                                               #
#   It is also possible to add custom directives to the various "Include" files loaded by this httpd.conf       #
#   For detailed instructions on using Include files and the apache_conf_distiller with the new configuration   #
#   system refer to the documentation at: http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/ea/ea3/customdirectives.html       #

Error message paths are relative to your web root. You could either adjust that, or use the absolute path as a URL. For example:

403: It's a secret to everybody.
A 404 appeared!
500 error caused critical damage!
I am 503 error.

RHochstenbach · Apr 14, 2010

I tried using the absolute path /var/www/vhosts/techlifezone.com/httpdocs/errordocs but that didn't fix it. And when I use the domain name like http://www.techlifezone.com/errordocs, it doesn't work either :(

I changed it to this:

Code:

<directory "/var/www/vhosts/techlifezone.com/httpdocs">
    ErrorDocument 500 http://www.techlifezone.com/error500.html
    ErrorDocument 404 http://www.techlifezone.com/error404.html
    ErrorDocument 403 http://www.techlifezone.com/error403.html
    ErrorDocument 408 http://www.techlifezone.com/error408.html
    ErrorDocument 400 http://www.techlifezone.com/error404.html
    AllowOverride All
    Options Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks
</directory>

and I've put the error files in the root of the website, but it's still not working :(

RHochstenbach · Apr 15, 2010

I found the cause of the problem. The application vBSEO was configured to use its own page for 404 errors. Changed it, and works fine now :)
