My 404 Back =P

[yahia]

Hi,

I saw that x10 has customized the 404 error pages.
That's a good thing for advertising, but there are only links to x10

=> no link for the domain or site's homepage.
Can you add this little plus? it's very important IMO.

You can always create your own error document. Just put in your .htaccess "ErrorDocument 404 /404.php"

Or do it from cPanel -- look for the "Custom Error Messages" button.

look guys, before this, I had 404.shtml, 403.shtml, etc. on public_html folder, and all worked well.
But now the 404 error brings the x10 page, not my custom document.
I didn't have to do that from cpanel before.
Should I do it now? did sth change?

Well, I'll try that and tell you if it works... right now the server is down so I'm not able to do so.

The x10 error page you are talking about displays if there is a problem with the server so its not your fault its because the server has been having more problems after a reboot a few days ago which caused one of the drives to mess up but corey has been working to get it back to normal.

jay, i think he's asking why his 404 pages aren't showing, and the answer is probably just so that x10 can possibly gain more money by having thier custom errror pages, besides, they provide this service for free, so i don't think you should be complaining, yahia

My custom 404 errors work? http://www.leightosoft.com/site/PAGETHATDOESNOTEXIST

That's exactly the matter here thank you.

In fact, I know that it is worth it, but at least provide the link back to the site (not only x10 links) !! This is so unfair... and will make the visitors run away quickly after a broken link

and Micro: how do you do it? ^^

Mine works as well. I did it with the .htaccess file.

See, my 404 is this http://lunaticarmyv2.com/NOT

 

[jaygreentree]

just add something like this to your .htaccess file:

ErrorDocument 400 /400.php #400 = (Bad request)
ErrorDocument 401 /401.php #401 = (Authorization required)
ErrorDocument 403 /403.php #403 = (Forbidden Access)
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php #404 = (File Not Found)
ErrorDocument 500 /500.php #500 = (Internal server error)

you can remove the comments (anything after #) and be sure to change the .php files to your actual page and the pages must exist.

In fact, the .htasses .htaccess (sorry^^) editing did work out.
Thanks

Hopefully x10 doesn't deactivate this also.

I just used:

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.leightosoft.com/forums/etcicantremember.php?stuff

and it works. Could use JayGreentrees way also, but mine works too
