Error Pages

The standard error pages can be very annoying. When you move a page in your site, visitors have no way of finding where you moved it to in the error page. With custom error pages you can get cool error pages that have the same layout as your site and get rid of the standard ones and replace them with one that will help redirect users to anypage you wish.

First of all, you will need to create your errors pages. Put anything in them you would like, it doesn't matter. However I would suggest placing a link to your main page on it. Then upload your pages to your site in a sepertate folder and call it anything you'd like.

Now in your .htaccess file, (Please see the .htaccess tutorial to make one if you don't already have one.) copy the following as shown below. Don't wrap the text. You will need to change the folder name in the links to the one you used.

Save your .htaccess file and upload it to your server in the main directory. Test it out to make sure it works.

Everything should work, if not, your server may not support this.
