Hi,
I searched archived messages for this, but didn't find an answer. If
this should go to the installation list, please advise (and forgive!).
I'm working on a site hosted at 1and1. I want to use a PHP-enabled
custom 404 page, but something in their configuration is preventing it
from working.
My .htaccess file includes the directive:
ErrorDocument 404 /not_found.php
It works for everything but .php files. If I try to browse a .php file
that doesn't exist, the server returns 1and1's default 404 page, not my
custom page.
After a few rounds of support requests and misinformation, their tech
support folks told me this:
PHP is running as a CGI on the shared hosting servers, which is
why your .htaccess isn't working for it.
You will have to create the error rule within a php.ini file.
Firstly, I can't find anything in their configuration that would suggest
what they're doing to acccomplish the redirect. For reference, the
phpinfo page (sorry, had to sanitize a few things) can be viewed here:
http://www2.jdgcommunications.com/phpexample/phpinfo.html
And secondly, how could I incorporate an "error rule" in a local php.ini
file? I know how to change settings for error display, reporting and
logging, but I haven't been able to find any configuration directives
even remotely related to what I'm trying to do.
Thanks,
Jim
Best thing is probably to use a rewrite rule.
So if the error.html should be desplayed the rewrite rule opens the .php
file.
I also don't know what ini attribute should be used since the 404 is a
webserver side error afaik.
Would be interesting to know if something like that ini attribute does
exists.
Probably re-config the server side VARS? (HTTP_VARS)?
no idea for now, but it's interesting. i will look more into it.
