Hi thanx a lot for your response. I have made the following modification to the apache2.conf file so that i can use SSI using the ErrorDocument:
Alias /error/ "/usr/share/apache2/error/" <Directory "/usr/share/apache2/error"> AllowOverride None Options MultiViews +IncludesNoExec FollowSymLinks AddType text/html .shtml <FilesMatch "\.shtml[.$]"> SetOutputFilter INCLUDES </FilesMatch> AddOutputFilter Includes html AddHandler type-map var Order allow,deny Allow from all LanguagePriority en cs de es fr it nl sv pt-br ro ForceLanguagePriority Prefer Fallback </Directory> ErrorDocument 400 /error/HTTP_BAD_REQUEST.html.var ErrorDocument 401 /error/HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED.html.var ErrorDocument 403 /error/HTTP_FORBIDDEN.html.var ErrorDocument 403 /error/HTTP_FORBIDDEN.shtml In the /HTTP_FORBIDDEN.shtml file i have something like <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>403 Forbidden</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1>Forbidden</H1> <HR> You do not have permission to perform the requested action. There is either potential harm or the directory is read-protected. <P> Your IP address is <!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" --><br> <HR> </BODY> </HTML> This is just for educational purposes and i am experimenting.
