Create Custom Error Pages for Website
You may be familiar with three common error codes or 'HTTP response status codes'.
1- 403 error, commonly known as 'access denied error or forbidden'
2- 404 error, commonly known as 'not found error'
3- 500 error, commonly known as 'internal server error'
These HTTP response status codes let you know if anything goes right or wrong. By default when you see 404 error, a generic message of 'not found' message is displayed by web browser. Similarly different messages are displayed by web browsers for different responses from server.
You can customize those error messages and those error pages to make them more informative and engaging. For example you can create an HTML page for '404 not found error'. Now, when server returns a 'not found' response, it will redirect to your custom 404 error page with whatever page name you specify. You can do that in .htaccess file.
.htaccess is a configuration file for use on web servers running the Apache Web Server software. .htaccess files provide a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. You can add .htaccess in any directory you want. You can specify commands in .htaccess that server will obey. Commands in that .htaccess file will affect on that directory and its child directories.
- How HTTP response status codes work?
- How do web browsers respond to these response status codes?
- How can you customize .htaccess file to show custom (error/message) pages against any type of HTTP response?
We will focus on 404 error (that is not found page error) and 403 error (that is forbidden or access denied error). We can simulate 404 HTTP response by requesting any random page that is not present in our website
We will make a file 'forbidden' from our server by using .htaccess. First make sure .htaccess is there by displaying hidden files in directory
.htaccess is a system file and system files are hidden in server. If it's not present, you can create it.
.htaccess works in only Apache based web servers. It works in all web hostings running with cPanel. There are servers running on NGINX. NGINX is not designed to use .htaccess files. .htaccess files slow down server if you define too many rules in it. If you use cPanel for web hosting, your server supports .htaccess files.
.htaccess file means you can talk to server. You can give commands to server. When we have server's response on 404 and 403 errors. We will create custom error pages for these two HTTP response status codes. The aim is to show out custom error page, instead of generic pages by server.
