Website - Settings - Error Pages

The error pages configuration is used to map standard HTTP error numbers to human readable text and to override HTTP errors with alternate success codes or even alternate pages/scripts. The error pages configuration could be used (for example) to redirect all 404 errors to a search page.

When an error message is sent, the server will always respond with an error page. This page could be the built-in default error page or could be a custom page - when this page is a script (handled by a scripting engine) information about the original request is made available via environment variables which can be access from within the script. When this alternate page is a static file (such as HTML), information on the original error is made available via Server Side Includes. In addition, the script may also be post-parsed for SSI tags - thereby also making information about the original request available via Server Side Includes.

Environment variables and SSI tags:

Variable	Description
ORIGINAL_PATH_INFO	The original extra path information.
ORIGINAL_SCRIPT_FILENAME	The original name of the local script of file which was requested by the peer.
ORIGINAL_REQUEST	the original full untranslated request made by the peer.
ORIGINAL_PATH_TRANSLATED	The original locally translated request made by the peer.
ORIGINAL_SCRIPT_NAME	The original relative name of the file requested by the peer.
ORIGINAL_MIME_TYPE	The original mime type of the file requested by the peer.

Error Pages - Item

Setting	Description
Error code	Defines the error code which will trigger this defined error response.
Error code response text	Defines the error text which will be sent to the connected peer in the HTTP header. This should be kept short (under 100 characters).
Error page	The realitive-to-root path to an error page. This can be mapped as local through the use of virtual roots.
Error code (Response)	The alternate error code which should be sent instead of the error which actually occured. A common use is to set this to 200 (OK) so that the peer does not receive a built-in browser error when the server delivers a custom page. This code must be defined in the custom error configuration as it is used to determine the alternate error code response text.
Error code response text (Response)	The alternate error text sent to the connected peer. This is automaticly determined via the custom error code.
