Title: How to set custom http error page on SME 6? (eg: 404.html)
Post by: Eugen Mihailescu on March 29, 2004, 04:25:39 PM

Hi everybody,

2 wk ago I've just moved from the Win2K server to SME6, which makes a very good impression to me so far;

on issue I am not able to solve it and you might help me:
- i want to have on my web a custom http error page for code 404, ie. when a user request an invalid page on my web, the web server automatically returns that 404.html page instead on default browser message
in IIS i can do that and i wonder if with SME is also possible to do it in this way
thx,
Eugen

Hi,

Yes you can do this if you goto the directory called "/etc/squid/errors" in that directory you will see alot of files for instance "ERR_ACCESS_DENIED" this is a html format so just edit how you see fit press F4 in midnite commander (mc at command line) and edit from there if you know html  :-D

I've tested what you've suggested me, but it seems that has no effect;
more than that, I've found threads on the web that said that this custom changes are done on my proxy server rather than web server;
maybe you got me wrong so I will try reformulate the initial quote:
how can I have my custom error files on the web in order to provide the web visitor with my custom message rather than IE error message; so I'm talking about webvisitors and not about internal users which connect our web server (site) via proxy
Thx again,
Eugen
