How do I customize my web site's Error Pages?

Overview

With this tool you can create custom error pages to display when a user enters a wrong URL, an outdated URL or when the user is not authorized to access a specific directory of your web space.

Error Pages consists of the following five types of errors:

  • 400 (Bad Request)
  • 401 (Authorization required)
  • 403 (Forbidden)
  • 404 (Wrong page)
  • 500 (Internal server error)

To customize the error page, you can click on the error page number (400, 401, 403, 404, 500) or the error page name (Bad Request, Authorization required, etc).

When the page loads, you have the following six tags available:
