Custom Error Pages

[BNX]

I understand you can create an error page for your site. Like 404.shtml for when a user gets a 404 error.
But, what about 403.x?

What do I do to set up a 403.x page? More specifically, 403.6 (I want to set up a redirect or custom page for when someone tries to go to my site whos IP is denied. How would I do this?)
-Thanks

Edit (or create) your site's .htaccess file to include the following line:

ErrorDocument 403.6 /path/to/4063-6.html

I'm not sure if it will work with a 403.6 or not. You might have to use a generic page for all 403 errors (use ErrorDocument 403 /path...). As for the file, it can be any type of files (php, html, CGI, or even an image, Flash movie, whatever...) and should be somewhere inside of your public_html directory. For example, I have php scripts for my error documents, which I keep in public_html/errors. The path that you specify should be relative to your website's home, so if you were going to set it up the same way I did, you'd use /errors/403.html or something like that.

By the way... Awesome site Vin DSL, I wish i could do that kind of stuff


also, im assuming by " /path/to/4063-6.html" you mean "ErrorDocument 403.6 /path/to/403-6.html" but ill do both

What you put after the error code (in this case 403.6) is just the URI of a file that you want to call when an error of that type occurs. you can name it anything you want (and in this case, there was a typo in what I posted). I usually use the error code number as the file name because it makes it easy to know what's what, but you don't have to. You could use

ErrorDocument 404 /errors/monkey.html
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/elephant.html
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/aligator.html

and Apache wouldn't care.
