Using Customized Error Messages

As with every technical system, errors occur in the WWW as well. Here are the most common errors you will see:

400 – Bad Request

401 – Authorization Required

403 – Forbidden

404 – File Not Found

500 – Internal Server Error

For the most common “404 – File Not Found”, the following screen will be displayed:

If the standard messages do not fit your needs, you can create your own error messages.

Simply create a sub-directory named /errors in your home directory (/usr/home/yourname.com) to serve as the location for your new error messages.

Error documents have no “html” type extension. E.g. your own 404 error document would have the complete path /errors/404. ( /usr/home/domainname.com/errors/404 in the IBSRack context.)
