vhost error docs

[the_oliver]

Im trying to have individual error pages for each of my vhosts.  The part thats proving difficault is having the error pages outside the Document root.  Eg DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.com/httpdocs  and errors in /var/www/domain.com/error.

 

The vhost code im using is:

 

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerAdmin [email protected]
  DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.com/httpdocs
  ServerName www.domain.com
  CustomLog logs/domain_log combined

       <IfDefine ERRORDOCS>
               Alias /error/ "/var/www/doman.net/error/"
               <Directory "/var/www/html/domain.com/error/">
                       AllowOverride None
                       Options IncludesNoExec
                       AddOutputFilter Includes html
                       AddHandler type-map var
                       Order allow,deny
                       Allow from all
               </Directory>
       </IfDefine ERRORDOCS>

        ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

 

 

However when i tried to restart the service if get the following error:

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 1112 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

Expected </IfDefine> but saw </IfDefin>

 

Line 1112 is the one above starting "<IfDefine ERRORDOCS>".  Can anyone offer me some advice?

 

- Thanks!

I dont think you need any of the <IfDefine ERRORDOCS>.

 

All you need is: ErrorDocument 404 /var/www/html/domain.com/error/error.html

I thought of that, but apparently it reads from the DocumentRoot, rather then the /var. So it told me it couldnt fint the error page!  I also tried ../error but then when it needed an error page it just printed ../error to the browser!

So it would try to reed form /var/www/doman.com/httpdocs/var/www/...ect..

 

Thanks!

Well how about:

ErrorDocument 404 http://vhost1/domain.com/error.html

ErrorDocument 404 http://vhost2/domain.com/error.html

Not sure i understand that?  Would that not put the error docs in the same folder as the main site?  Im keen to keep them in a directory bellow!

 

Thanks for you help so far!

Ah - ok. I read your initial post too quickly...again.

 

Right - so you want your ErrorDocument outside of your DocumentRoot.

Well this should work on its own so. Add these lines into the vhost:

 

Alias /error/ "/var/www/doman.net/error/"

ErrorDocument 404 /error/404.html

 

I have tested, and that works fine for me. Make sure that the file "/var/www/doman.net/error/404.html" has read permissions to be read by the webserver, i.e. chmod 644.
