I'm trying to get my custom error pages to work, but I'm failing miserably.
Situation:
- Ubuntu Hardy 8.04
- Apache 2
- Php 5.x
- Documentroot /var/www/...
I have multiple subdomains active on my server, where the 2 most important are the main site and my blog. Now I want to give people a nice custom 404 page (at least) to help them out while visiting my server.
I have tried allmost everything, (I prefer not to use the .htaccess manner) so I work with the ErrorDocument directive.
When I link the 404 Error to the page /var/www/error/404.php, and I try to visit a "wrong" page like hhhh I get the following error in the apache log file
[error] [client x.x.x.x] File does not exist: /var/www/blog/hhhh
[error] [client x.x.x.x] File does not exist: /var/www/blog/var
But, when I put the absolute url of my website as a value
http://www.mysite.com/error/404.php, it works, but that's not how it's supposed to work.
On the webpage itself, i get the "standard" error message :
Not Found
The requested URL /hhhh was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
It seems that the "/" is not correctly read, so it wants to read the error pages from a subdirectory instead of the document root. I'm going crazy!
