An index someone has put together of imaginative 404 pages...some are pretty funny. Take a look at MIT's for instance.

I was so inspired by that page that I made a commodore 64 404 page. http://www.vdj.net/booger.html.xyz.123

That C64 page is cool! *grin*

I tinkered on all my error pages a little bit, although they are about the same as before (added a search engine to the 404 page). If you wanna see em, urls are below.

401 -> www.downinit.com/scripts/members/janetpro/ (http://www.downinit.com/scripts/members/janetpro/) (filename is BadNachos.shtml, hit [Cancel] to see it)

403 -> www.downinit.com/cgi-bin/ (http://www.downinit.com/cgi-bin/) (page name is simply Forbidden.shtml)

404 -> www.downinit.com/asdffdaa (http://www.downinit.com/asdffdaa) (page name is Nuts.shtml)

500 -> www.downinit.com/cgi-bin/webstroke (http://www.downinit.com/cgi-bin/webstroke) (page name is BOOM.shtml)

Opinions? http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

Nice pages Del...did you use SSI to echo the path names inside the page?

[Del]

Benson,
Yup. I hadn't really done much with SSI before, so I figured I should play with it at least a little more (so far all I've used it for is <!--#fsize file='blah'--> and now the <!--#echo var='redirect_url'--> )

Might consider doing more with it really soon, although I may delve into using PHP and it's SSI's instead. Not decided on that one yet http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

All this talk got me off my keester and I made a 404 page using my favorite character - Yosemite Sam. Try something like:

avionflight.com/abc (http://avionflight.com/abc)

to see it. http://www.aota.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

DEL: Could you tell me how you got the 403 & 500 errors setup?

Thanks....

[Justin]

If you want to know how to specify those error pages, it's the same as 404 - .htaccess. I have set up a tutorial (attempted) that may help. This would be a good test.

http://www.vdj.net/htaccess/

Then again, if you're asking about his specifically, then, well, ignore me http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

Here's my new one -

Bi4Be,
My error pages are all *.shtml, and then use <!--#echo var="REDIRECT_URL"--> to display the error'ed URL (eg the nonexistant file or the broken script). Like Justin said, they're all set up in the same way, just change the error number in the ErrorDocument handler. My .htaccess file looks like this;

ErrorDocument 401 /etc/BadNachos.shtml
ErrorDocument 403 /etc/Forbidden.shtml
ErrorDocument 404 /etc/Nuts.shtml
ErrorDocument 500 /etc/BOOM.shtml

to take care of the errors that may be encountered. There are lots and lots of other possible errors, but those are the four that are most often seen (most of the others are never seen at all, or you don't want a special page to handle them anyway (like 302's and such)).
