Re: virtual host problem

[Min-Hua Luo <minhua_luo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joshua,

 

Sorry bother you again. I am having problem to implement custom error page for HTTP 403 (Forbidden) error. This is my configuration:

 

<VirtualHost *:12311>
    ServerName default.only
    ErrorDocument 403 /error_pages/forbidden.html

    <Location />
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
    </Location>

    <Location /error_pages>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

 

For some reason, the custom error page cannot not be displayed and I got this error:

 

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

Could you please tell me what I did wrong? Thanks again for your help.

 

James

You can't, because the hostname isn't known until after the server has
already accepted the request. But you can easily redirect such
requests to a different hostname:
http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CanonicalHostNames
or you can return a 403 forbidden error:
