Is there a way of having a custom 404 error page? I tried placing the .htaccess file in my web directory but nothing is happening, it's still display the same page? :??:

Whilst I'm here I might as well ask, is there a way for the program to save your admin password, because every time I start the program and end it, it ask for the username and password, which is slightly annoying, I know apache requires admin rights but can the program not save into a keychain or something?

Thanks for any help  :D

Hi,

You can follow this official manual to achieve the same,
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#errordocument

Sorry. Due to security reasons we are not allowed to do it.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong? I've placed a .htaccess file in my web directory directing it to my error page, looks something like this:

Code
ErrorDocument 404 errors/404.html


But it's still giving me the default error page... Do i have to configure something?

Okay, finally solved what I was doing wrong, on mac you can't just save a text editor file as a .htaccess file for some od reason it aloud me to do this and so the file was not formatted correctly or something a long those lines, for anyone who would like to know how to do this in mac os x lion follow these steps:

1. create a new text edit file
2. press shift+cmd+T
3. Writer ErrorDocument 404 path/to/your/error/page.html
4. save as 1.htaccess in the directory where you wish to store it
5. open up terminal (Utilities/Terminal or search in spotlight)
6. type
Code
cd /path/to/1.htacces/file

7. then type
Code
mv 1.htaccess .htaccess


and your done, for any future editing navigate to the directory via cd and then type
Code
vi .htaccess


This is a editor built into terminal, I suggest you read this guide when using it as it's not easy:

Hope this helps  :D
