Graham Clarke did speak thusly:
Hi - I'd like to setup a meaningful error page for a virtual host that uses mod_vhost_alias. If a visitor enters a url that doesn't exist on the server they're served a custom error page.Here's a simple example: The vhost has: VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/html/customer/%1Requests for http://samplesite.mydomain.com will serve /var/www/html/customer/samplesite/index.htmlHowever, if the user makes a mistake and enters "amplesite.mydomain.com" apache throws an error.My question is how to catch these cases and show a friendly error page rather than an ugly apache error?Thanks, Graham
---------------- End original message. --------------------- I think you might be confused here.The example you are giving would likely not even get to Apache in the first place as it is likely to be a DNS error you are getting as the "amplesite.mydomain.com" subdomain probably does not have a DNS entry.
To verify this, see if you get a valid IP address when you query DNS using nslookup or dig for the "amplesite.mydomain.com" host.
