[users@httpd] Using Apache Error Pages
I am running Win XP,apache 2.0.x,PHP 5.0, with Maxthon
browser. I am also quite new to the Apache web Server
experience so please bear with me.
When I try to get Apache to use its own internal error
pages I still get IE's pages. Can someone please tell me in
simple language how I go about activating these Apache
error pages? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanking you in advance,
Marc de Wet

Hi Joost,
Ok,I must admit that I did not turn that off,I will do so
and see if it works.
Regarding the size of the error pages,they are Apache's
default pages and they ARE bigger than 512 kbytes.
Thanking you kindly,
Marc.

- Did you turn off 'friendly error pages' in IE?
- How large are your error pages? IE happily ignores error pages smaller
than 512 bytes (!).

Hi Ian,
Thank you so much for replying to my problem.
Ok,I did exactly what you did in httpd.conf and like I say
I still get the IE eroor pages.
Do I need to move the error folder to my web root??
As for using non- IE browser,I am currently using
Maxthon.Could that be the problem as I know that Maxthon is
IE based??
If so,what browser would you recommend?
Thanking you in anticipation,
Marc de Wet

Ah, I think you misunderstand here...
Apache returns the error page you have defined... this is what I have
defined in my own web server:
Alias /error/ "/filesystem/path/to/share/error/"
<Directory "/filesystem/path/to/share/error/">
AllowOverride None
Options IncludesNoExec
AddOutputFilter Includes html
AddHandler type-map var
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
LanguagePriority en es de fr
ForceLanguagePriority Prefer Fallback
</Directory>
ErrorDocument 404 /error/HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var
{etc...}
However, if the file returned is tiny, IE elects to ignore the page thus
returned, and display it's own page.
What happens if you test the error page with a non-ie browser?

Hi K. Anand,
I understand what you have sent me,but in the
httpd.conf,there is a section where you can tell apache to
use its own error pages,you just need to uncomment them,or
so it looks,but when I do it still displays the IE error
pages. The apache error pages I want to use are the default
ones in the error folder,so the size problem is not
relevant here,from what I can see.

the message that it is getting from the server but is showing its own
message...
>From the apache manual :
"
Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) will by default ignore server-generated
error messages when they are "too small" and substitute its own "friendly"
error messages. The size threshold varies depending on the type of error,
but in general, if you make your error document greater than 512 bytes, then
MSIE will show the server-generated error rather than masking it. More
information is available in Microsoft Knowledgebase article Q294807.
