Custom Error Documents
* Some sites establish site wide 404 error pages. For example:
There is a Characterology Default 404 error page.
* 404 handlers can be created by every web hosting user. They can even be put in every indivdual directory. For example:
Psychology Department’s Error Page
* Usage:
ErrorDocument 404 errors/404.html
Note: It’s probably better to start with a leading / so that this directive has a complete path specification to make sure that the 404 handler page can always be found.
* You can also have error documents created by CGI:
ErrorDocument 404 /psych/cgi-bin/error/error?404
* An example of the power of customized error documents is for telling people why their authentication failed
