#ErrorDocument entries in .htaccess..?
 

hey all... am just now setting up another fBSD server, and want to get the whole #ErrorDocument situation done properly this time, the guy who set up our last one did this wrong somehow... now, where should the #ErrorDocument lines go, in the 'top-level' .htaccess, or in the .htaccess that controls the members area? also, is it ok to point the path for 404, 403, and others *off* of the server, to another domain even? any information, links or examples of the proper way to set #ErrorDocument would be greatly appreciated, especially any neat tricks that can be done w/ it... thx all, hope those signup's are rolling in for everyone..

403 should point internally

like

error document 403 /index.shtml

top level.

ErrorDocument 403 /index.html or (http://www.blahblah.com/index.html)

k, thx guys... ah, one other thing; if i use "Deny from xxx.xxx." lines in my .htaccess, are those visitors being redirected via one of the #ErrorDocument lines perhaps? or is that controlled in some other way..?

You keep saying #ErrorDocument... you do know that # means the entire line is a comment and isn't being processed, right?

Remove the # if you want the line to be interpreted, otherwise it is ignored. The directive is called

ErrorDocument
