I suspect you're misreading your AppScan. It's warning about potentially
exposing your filesystem information.  But there's nothing secret about
a directory containing a web-facing application!

Having said that, rtfm ErrorDocument for one way to do what you ask,
if it's for some ignorant PHB's box-ticking exercise.
