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.
