 Make an html page, and save it as 404.shtml

 Does that work on absolutely any host? I thought you had to modify the .htaccess sometimes?

 Yup. Create a file called ".htaccess", and put in it the following:

Code:
 
ErrorDocument 404 /errorpage.html


Then just put a file named errorpage.html with the error message. Htaccess if a way of configuring the server from a sub directory.

I assume you could make a page for every error you want that way?
(Not that there are a lot of other errors you get a lot :ermm: )

Sure. Just use something like:

Code:
 
ErrorDocument 400 /errors/400.html
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/401.html
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html

 I'm not entirely sure, but I believe just calling it "404.shtml" or "401.shtml" etc, automatically points it to that page. I think.

 I think it is depending on your server configuration, which James queried earlier. I know on one of my hosts the xxx.shtml method works, haven't tried it on the other host, but i am unsure as to whether it is possible on all configs or not.

 It doesn't always work. My old server did not allow it.

(By old i do stress old. I think most modern servers allow the easy way)

You were too nice. I was either going to send him a nasty PM about it or just suspend him until I read your post. :arr:

Anyhow, this topic reminds me that I have to figure out what's up with my 404.php file on my blog. :ermm:

 If you have cPanel, you can edit the pages in there, and it'll automatically update your .htaccess - dead easy :P

 Okie, here's the deal:

With apache servers, you can do the ".htaccess" thing.

However, me, with my innocent Internet Information Services server, I have to edit the configuration via(on the server obviously...) Start>Settings>>Control Panel>>>Administrative Tools>>>>Internet services manager, Then right click the site that is yours, and select properties. After that go to Custom errors, then click on the errror you wish to change, and then make sure it's a url, then give the name of a file that's on the site that you want the error page to be on.

One way to check if its an IIS server, or apache, is if you don't have custom errors set up allready, then trigger an error. If it's IIS, it'll say somewhere on the page that it is IIS(after all the points on what to do), and if it's Apache, then the error will be different, and possibly might say something else.

Obviously, it could be another server, but I think those are the two most common.

:) :w00t: Good luck on that!
