|
|
<p>Although the Apache HTTP Server provides generic error responses
|
|
in the event of 4xx or 5xx HTTP status codes, these responses are
|
|
rather stark, uninformative, and can be intimidating to site users.
|
|
You may wish to provide custom error responses which are either
|
|
friendlier, or in some language other than English, or perhaps which
|
|
are styled more in line with your site layout.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Customized error responses can be defined for any HTTP status
|
|
code designated as an error condition - that is, any 4xx or 5xx
|
|
status.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Additionally, a set of values are provided, so
|
|
that the error document can be customized further based on the
|
|
values of these variables, using <a href="howto/ssi.html">Server
|
|
Side Includes</a>. Or, you can have error conditions handled by a
|
|
cgi program, or other dynamic handler (PHP, mod_perl, etc) which
|
|
makes use of these variables.</p>

|

|
|
<p>Custom error documents are configured using the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#errordocument">ErrorDocument</a></code> directive,
|
|
which may be used in global,
|
|
virtualhost, or directory context. It may be used in .htaccess files
|
|
if <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#allowoverride">AllowOverride</a></code> is set to
|
|
FileInfo.</p>
|
|
|

<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
|
|
ErrorDocument 500 "Sorry, our script crashed. Oh dear"<br />
|
|
ErrorDocument 500 /cgi-bin/crash-recover<br />
|
|
ErrorDocument 500 http://error.example.com/server_error.html<br />
|
|
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/not_found.html <br />
|
|
ErrorDocument 401 /subscription/how_to_subscribe.html
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The syntax of the <code>ErrorDocument</code> directive is:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
|
|
ErrorDocument <3-digit-code> <action>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>where the action will be treated as:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>A local URL to redirect to (if the action begins with a "/").</li>
|
|
<li>An external URL to redirect to (if the action is a valid URL).</li>
|
|
<li>Text to be displayed (if none of the above). The text must be
|
|
wrapped in quotes (") if it consists of more than one word.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>When redirecting to a local URL, additional environment variables
|
|
are set so that the response can be further customized. They are not sent to
|
|
external URLs.</p>
|
|
|

<div class="section">

<h2><a name="variables" id="variables">Available Variables</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Redirecting to another URL can be useful, but only if some
|
|
information can be passed which can then be used to explain or log
|
|
the error condition more clearly.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To achieve this, when the error redirect is sent, additional
|
|
environment variables will be set, which will be generated from
|
|
the headers provided to the original request by prepending
|
|
'REDIRECT_' onto the original header name. This provides the error
|
|
document the context of the original request.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, you might receive, in addition to more usual
|
|
environment variables, the following.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
|
REDIRECT_HTTP_ACCEPT=*/*, image/gif, image/jpeg, image/png<br />
|
|
REDIRECT_HTTP_USER_AGENT=Mozilla/5.0 Fedora/3.5.8-1.fc12 Firefox/3.5.8<br />
|
|
REDIRECT_PATH=.:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin<br />
|
|
REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING=<br />
|
|
REDIRECT_REMOTE_ADDR=121.345.78.123<br />
|
|
REDIRECT_REMOTE_HOST=client.example.com<br />
|
|
REDIRECT_SERVER_NAME=www.example.edu<br />
|
|
REDIRECT_SERVER_PORT=80<br />
|
|
REDIRECT_SERVER_SOFTWARE=Apache/2.2.15<br />
|
|
REDIRECT_URL=/cgi-bin/buggy.pl
|
|
</code></p></div>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>REDIRECT_</code> environment variables are created from
|
|
the environment variables which existed prior to the
|
|
redirect. They are renamed with a <code>REDIRECT_</code>
|
|
prefix, <em>i.e.</em>, <code>HTTP_USER_AGENT</code> becomes
|
|
<code>REDIRECT_HTTP_USER_AGENT</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>REDIRECT_URL</code>, <code>REDIRECT_STATUS</code>, and
|
|
<code>REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING</code> are guaranteed to be set, and
|
|
the other headers will be set only if they existed prior to the
|
|
error condition.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>None</strong> of these will be
|
|
set if the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#errordocument">ErrorDocument</a></code> target is an
|
|
<em>external</em> redirect (anything starting with a
|
|
scheme name like <code>http:</code>, even if it refers to the same host
|
|
as the server).</p>
|

|
|
<div class="section">
|
|
<h2><a name="custom" id="custom">Customizing Error Responses</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you point your <code>ErrorDocument</code> to some variety of
|
|
dynamic handler such as a server-side include document, CGI
|
|
script, or some variety of other handler, you may wish to use the
|
|
available custom environment variables to customize this
|
|
response.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the ErrorDocument specifies a local redirect to a CGI
|
|
script, the script should include a "<code>Status:</code>"
|
|
header field in its output in order to ensure the propagation
|
|
all the way back to the client of the error condition that
|
|
caused it to be invoked. For instance, a Perl ErrorDocument
|
|
script might include the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
|
... <br />
|
|
print "Content-type: text/html\n"; <br />
|
|
printf "Status: %s Condition Intercepted\n", $ENV{"REDIRECT_STATUS"}; <br />
|
|
...
|
|
</code></p></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the script is dedicated to handling a particular error
|
|
condition, such as <code>404 Not Found</code>, it can
|
|
use the specific code and error text instead.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that if the response contains <code>Location:</code>
|
|
header (in order to issue a client-side redirect), the script
|
|
<em>must</em> emit an appropriate <code>Status:</code> header
|
|
(such as <code>302 Found</code>). Otherwise the
|
|
<code>Location:</code> header may have no effect.</p>

<h2><a name="multi-lang" id="multi-lang">Multi Language Custom Error Documents</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Provided with your installation of the Apache HTTP Server is a
|
|
directory of custom error documents translated into 16 different
|
|
languages. There's also a configuration file in the
|
|
<code>conf/extra</code> configuration directory that can be included
|
|
to enable this feature.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In your server configuration file, you'll see a line such as:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
|
# Multi-language error messages<br />
|
|
#Include conf/extra/httpd-multilang-errordoc.conf
|
|
</code></p></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Uncommenting this <code>Include</code> line will enable this
|
|
feature, and provide language-negotiated error messages, based on
|
|
the language preference set in the client browser.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Additionally, these documents contain various of the
|
|
<code>REDIRECT_</code> variables, so that additional information can
|
|
be provided to the end-user about what happened, and what they can
|
|
do now.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These documents can be customized to whatever degree you wish to
|
|
provide more useful information to users about your site, and what
|
|
they can expect to find there.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a></code>
|
|
must be enabled to use this feature.</p>
