How to do a personalisable error on your Website
Configure Apache
Create a .htaccess in the root folder of your website
Then, edit it, and add those lines :
This is activating the Rewrite Module of Apache, can be uncommented in httpd.conf
RewriteEngine On
Options -MultiViews
That line is changing the directory of the 404 error
ErrorDocument 404 /404
Can also be :
"ErrorDocument 500 /500"
The last line change the adress "http://website.com/404.php" in "http://website.com/404", you can also use this for your index.
RewriteRule ^404$ 404.php [L]
Then, create a 404.php
And edit it :
<?php include 'includes/header'; //Include your header ?>
<div class="erreur">
<img src="images/404.png">
<a href="index.php"><img src="images/lien.png"></a>
</div>
<?php include 'includes/footer.php'; ?>
So you got a fabulous 404 error with some photos, CSS, etc...
