error pages

[adamriley]

Hi could i ask when you create error pages in cpanel how do you get the error page to dissplay when there is an error message?

Hello,

First, to set custom error pages you can follow these instructions:
http://twiki.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/ErrorPages

You will get the appropiate error page when you make a mistake in your site, for example: you get the error 404 page when you provide an invalid url of your site (eg: yoursite.com/thispagedontexist.html)

Thanks punk but i have already done the steps that it says and i still get the default 404 error page but thanks for the reply.

You should have a file named .htaccess in public_html

Add a line like

ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml

for each error document you have written and placed in public_html.

Is there any chance of an example of what the file should look like as when i changed it i get a error 500 internal sever error and thanks for the reply

You mean .htaccess?

Post yours and I can tell you any problems I see.

If you are using a CMS, it usually adds stuff to .htaccess, so I cannot tell you what it "should" look like.
