I've already read that page and followed the directions, and it's not working the way the page describes it, or at least, there's something missing. The page says:
"What Directives are Allowed? --To find out what directives are allowed in what types of configuration sections, check the Context of the directive."
That's what I'm doing, and it does not work. The "context" for ErrorDocument says "server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess". I have put the line
ErrorDocument 403 /banned_ip.phpin the httpd.conf file, in the ssl.conf file both inside and outside the <VirtualHost> section, and in the .htaccess file, and none of those combinations are working -- 403 errors in https urls are still giving the default 403 error instead of the custom one. There's some extra step required that's not in the documentation, at least not in that portion of it. Do you know what it is?
