An apache question.

Steven E. Protter — Tue, 31 Dec 2002 13:44:57 GMT

I'm pretty good at configuring apache with httpd.conf I'm running a web hosting business on it, but one thing has escaped me.

When a user types in a bad link, or a bad link is posted to a site, my users get the standard DNS error screen from the browser.

I would like to know how to configure the httpd.conf file to take all error 404(file not found right) errors and go to a special web page that I design. I'm thinking a cgi script that will after a delay take the user back to a legitimate page in the site.

I'd like to see an httpd.conf snippet please, I can write the cgi script myself.

Thanks.

As always, points liberally awarded. 10 points for a working solution.

I'll be trying it out tonight, but the document looks rock solid.

I tested it internally on our HP-UX Apache installation. It works great.
