How to change the error message on apache?

[Amailer]

Ok, i wanna change the 404 and etc on my apache server.

I know the .htaccess and etc.

ErrorDocument 404 ....

But that does not work.

Is it something to do with the:

Alias /error/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/error/"


Alias /error/ "@exp_errordir@/"

<Directory "@exp_errordir@/">
AllowOverride None
Options IncludesNoExec
AddOutputFilter Includes html
AddHandler type-map var
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
LanguagePriority en de es fr it nl sv
ForceLanguag
</Directory>

or what? any help?

This is what the .htaccess file looks like for my site:

ErrorDocument 400 /errors/404.shtml
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/401.shtml
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.shtml
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.shtml
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.shtml

You put it in the top-most folder you want to apply it to, as it trickles down to all the folders below it in the hierarchy.

cant you just replace those error files?

[Blade]

yeah... if your .htaccess file isnt working you may have your permissions set wrong in your httpd.conf file...

theres a section in there that looks like

Quote:

<Directory "C:/path/to/files">
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
</Directory>

you'll have to change it to

Quote:

<Directory "C:/path/to/files">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

so that you can change stuff with your .htaccess file

Yeah, I'm not sure how that goes in Windows, because I work with Linux and the CHMOD you set is 666 I believe.

[Blade]

you cant chmod in windows... you just ahve to set the override in the httpd.conf file for your .htaccess files to work properly

i did not find anything like that....

code:

<Directory "@exp_errordir@/"> AllowOverride None Options IncludesNoExec AddOutputFilter Includes html AddHandler type-map var Order allow,deny Allow from all LanguagePriority en de es fr it nl sv ForceLanguag </Directory>

is all i found

[Blade]

well you could try changing the 'Override None' theere to 'Override All'. Restart your server, then see if your .htaccess files work

I know you can't CHMOD in Windows, but if he is running NTFS, he can set file permissions (that is, the equivalent of CHMOD).

ya ya ya,
Permissions everyone/user what ever
is like CHOMD...for windows though :/

But the prob is still not solved!
