ErrorDocument

[The Little Guy]

I am making error documents, they are stored in a folder called "error"

 

so to access this error file from the address bar would look like this:

 

http://site.com/error/500.html

 

I have all these methods, and none work:

ErrorDocument 500 /error/500.html

ErrorDocument 500 error/500.html

ErrorDocument 500 http://site.com/error/500.html

 

The first way just displays my server's default 500 page.

The second way displays "error/500.html".

The third way just redirects the browser to the error page.

 

How can I get it to display the error page?

Try:

 

 

ErrorDocument 500 /error/500.html

 

 

Rule of thumb is to always use absolute paths (in this context meaning absolute web root paths, if ya know what I mean) with error documents.

[The Little Guy]

Remember above I said I did that, and it just displayed the default error page.

 

Unless there is a difference I am not seeing...

Both of these work:

 

ErrorDocument 403 /error/403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /error/404.html

 

 

Why doesn't this:

 

ErrorDocument 500 /error/500.html

[corbin]

Try a different folder and see if it works.

 

 

I have a hunch that the /error/ folder may be an alias and the 500.html file already exists.

I guess I am getting this too:

 

Wed Oct 08 01:59:11 2008] [error] [client 66.249.73.90] mod_rewrite:

maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration

error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if

neccessary.

[Wed Oct 08 01:59:11 2008] [error] [client 66.249.73.90] Request exceeded

the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error.

Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use

'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

 

From this:

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1.php [L,QSA]

 

If I comment that out, then it takes me to a 404 page (what I wanted to get instead of the 500 error)

[corbin]

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1.php [L,QSA]

 

 

That will match anything.

 

That will be ran until it doesn't match any more, and the times after the first time it is run, the rewrite conds are ignored.

 

Is there an exact thing you're trying to match?  If so, you could just rewrite the rewrite.  Otherwise, you'll have to get creative/complex with the rewrite so you won't get a loop.

[The Little Guy]

I just want to match php files, and remove the extension.

[corbin]

So you're matching *.php and redirecting it to *.php?
