I'm not positive, but I think where you have ErrorDocument 404 "Here is my message. " you want something like this ErrorDocument 404 myCustomizedErrorDOCUMENT.html ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Kenyon Sent: Thu, 11/2/2006 5:53pm To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] Altering the Configuration f.ie I am a novice to using Apache and I am trying to experiment with changing the basic configurtion in order to display a different error message when a file is not found. I tried two different approaches, neither of which have worked: 1. Create a new configuration file (myError.conf) containing ErrorDocument 404 "Here is my message. " Add Include conf/extra/myError.conf to httpd.conf 2. Insert ErrorDocument 404 "Here is my message. " directly into the httpd.conf file. I'm not sure why this is not working. Any help much appreciated. Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
