Custom Error pages not working..? :(

[pandaxx]

I made the custom error pages, but when an error occurs, it still goes to the one made by x10hosting... How do I fix this?

Also, when I type www.mydomain.blah.blah/about
without typing about.html, there is an error. Why is it like this, and how can I fix it so that you don't need the .html at the end? Because usually you don't need to type everything and it automatically redirects you, right?

Help ...

x10 doesnt allow custom error pages on a free server

Ohhh okay. But what about the url thing? Also, I noticed it has to match the capitalization of the pages too... why and how can I fix this?

make all of your pages lowercase. if you want to do a little work, make an "about" directory put an index.php page in it with the code

<?php
header("Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/about.html")
?>

This will redirect it.

Without the questionmarks, I'm assuming?

How do you make a directory..?

(Sorry, I'm extremely new at this)

No Leave them. That is how you designate php code.

How do you make a directory..?

A directory is a folder. Just make a folder called about and put the small php script into the folder as index.php
It just redirects the about directory to the page.

Okay, I tired that, and it gave me


Index of /about

• Parent Directory
• about.html
• about.php

I still don't get it.

What is your sites url? I want to check out how you pages link together.

Okay.. its not up. Where is you about page supossed to be and what do you want to be able to type in?

 

[pandaxx]

Sure!

http://panda.exofire.net/about
http://panda.exofire.net/about.html

rename the about.php in the about directory to index.php

Oh OOPS! XD

It worked! Thank you so much!

 

[Mohron]

Now you should be able to do that with any page if you wish just change the url in the php script to the page you want and name the directory as you just didn't type the ext. If that's all you need then I hope it serves you well.
Rep is much appreciated.
