Hey list, how's it going? I must be missing something. I am trying to redirect to a custom error page whenever a 404 error occurs. It ought to be easy, but I'm having trouble. I am using Apache and Tomcat on Linux for my JSP pages. I don't know all the version numbers, but I can get them if anyone needs to know. I have edited the httpd.conf file, and used the ErrorDocument directive as explained here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#errordocument I am able to get the redirection to occur if I use the full URL (i.e. http://www.bogusdomain.com/error404.jsp) but I don't want to do that. When it redirects, it is telling the client to request my error page, and so the original URL they were trying to go to is lost to me, and any querystring data as well. So, I would like to use option (3) (on the web link shown above) and that is to redirect to a local URL to handle the error. I am hoping that if I do that, then I can retain the original URL and querystring information that the user has requested, and then I can handle it in my custom error page. I'm sure people have done this, and I don't know why I can't get it to work. Does anyone have any suggestions? I greatly appreciate it. A couple detailed questions about this: When I use the ErrorDocument directive to redirect to an external URL, I give it the full URL. From what I understand, if I want to redirect to a local URL, then I can just give it a relative path, right? For example, if my Error page is http://www.bogusdomain.com/error404.jsp, then I should just be able to use this line in the httpd.conf file, right: ErrorDocument 404 error404.jsp If so, then does anyone know why that doesn't work? If not, then what do I need to do? Thanks! Doug Cannon Dentrix Dental Systems http://www.dentrix.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
