I followed this suggestion in the apache2 htpd.conf to use the default error handlers: # The internationalized error documents require mod_alias, mod_include # and mod_negotiation. To activate them, uncomment the following 30 lines.
and it works fine for a 403 i get the expected response: Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected. Error 403 myserver Sat Jun 9 13:48:46 2007 Apache But when I access a non-existant file http://myserver/nof.html it brings back an odd message with an exra not found in it: Not Found The requested URL /nof.html was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. ------------------------------ Apache Server at myserver Port 80 and when I look in the logs it seems to be looking in the wrong place for the error doc: [Sat Jun 09 13:32:32 2007] [error] [client 74.6.26.136] File does not exist: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/error.html What might I have done wrong that has messed up what should be a plain vanila default setup? Thanks.
