.htaccess Custom Error Pages and Messages​

In .htaccess, you can provide custom error pages for users depending on the type of error they receive.

The error pages are presented as URLs. These URLs can begin with a slash (/) for local web-paths (relative to the DocumentRoot), or be a full URL which the client can resolve.

Alternatively, a message can be provided to be displayed by the browser.

ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/400.html
ErrorDocument 401 https://example.com/path/my-page.html
ErrorDocument 403 "Sorry, can't allow you access today"
note

See the ErrorDocument Directive documentation on the HTTPD documentation site for more information.
