Error pages allow you to control what visitors see when they encounter these types of errors:
- 401 Unauthorized (the visitor does not have permission to view the file/directory)
- 403 Forbidden (access to the file/directory is not possible)
- 404 The file or directory is not found
- 500 An error occurred on the server
From the main control panel menu, click the "Error Pages" icon. You will see a screen that looks like this:
By default, there are no error pages. That is, 401.shtml, 403.shtml etc., do not exist. The "View" link next to each file name allows you to see what a visitor sees when they encounter that type of error.
Changing the Error Pages
There are two ways to change the error pages.
Method 1: From the Error Page menu, click the file name of the error page you want to edit. A text box will appear, and you can paste your HTML code into that text box.
Method 2: Create the files yourself in any HTML editor and upload them to your public_html directory. The files must have the .shtml extension.
