Errors module

Error page generation

Overview
This module allows user customisable errors pages to be returned to the client for each virtual server. For example, you might want to customise the Access Denied page describing exactly who has access and where to go for further information.

Configuration
When the server detects an error in processing a client's request, it will return the relevant HTTP return code and a HTML page offering a description of the error. By default system error pages are used, but customised error pages can be specified by entering the directory path in the text box.

The directory should contain a set of HTML pages with filenames in the format XXX.html, where XXX is the HTTP return code number (a list of the HTTP return codes are show in the appendix). If a return code is generated for which an error page does not exist, the server will pass the error message onto the next error module of a lower priority in the module chain. If no error module generates an error page, the standard system error-page for that error will be returned to the client. The HTML error pages are always parsed by the server, regardless of the current mime-type for the .html file extension.
