004 ... Customizable Error Pages

Error pages are html pages that visitors to your site are taken to when something goes wrong. There are a number of possibilities. The below cases are covered through the Error Pages tool:

400 - Bad Request
This error will occur when a viewers browser sends a request to the web server that it cannot understand. For example: If a user types in http://secure.domain.com to attempt to access your secure site at https://secure.domain.com

401 - Authorization Required
This error will occur when a user enters the wrong login information for a password protected area of your site.

403 - Forbidden
This error will occur when access has been disabled to a directory on your site (probably through Password Protect Directories)

404 - Not Found (or Wrong Page)
This error will occur when the URL that is trying to be accessed does not exist. For example: If a viewer types in http://yoursite.com/index.html when your index page is actually http://yoursite.com/index.htm

500 - Internal Server Error
This error will occur when the web server cannot process a local request. This usually happens when a php or cgi script is having issues such as wrong file permissions or perhaps incorrect coding in the file.

Several account plans come with the Error Page Toll feature.  The Error PageTool allows you to customize the appearance of the various error page types to match your web site theme.
