ErrorDocument troubles with Apache 2

I cannot get my server to recognize my Error Documents. I am using Apache 2.0.44 on an eMac. I have something configured wrong in the httpd.conf. but I can't figure what it is.

The error I get is:
The requested URL /1.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.

Could someone walk me through the process in "laymen's terms"?

Thanks,

Have you checked the path to your personalised 404 Error html file (the 1.html)? It just seems to me that it can't find it.
 
Hey uoba,
Checked path name. Files are all located in the root directory in a folder called errordocs. The httpd.conf has path of /errordocs/blah.html. That's a match isn't it? :confused:

Try different ways then, try an absolute link to the ErrorDocument (i.e. http://www.mysite.com/errorDocs/error404.html)

I gather you've uncommented the line:
Code: 
#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html

(removed the # and added your own relative/absolute link to the file)
 
hey uoba,

I changed the pathname to the absolute as you suggested, but I recently upgraded my server and now it won't start up. :rolleyes:

I will have to wait until I figure why it won't start before I can check on the ErrorDocs.

Thanks for your help.
 
I have an eMac with OS X 10.2.6.

I just upgraded Apache 2.0.44 to 2.0.47, but it won't start up. I went to the terminal and got the following message:

shell> /Library/Apache2/bin/apachectl configtest
Syntax error on line 1119 of /Library/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /Library/Apache2/modules/libphp4.so into server: dyld: /Library/Apache2/bin/httpd can't open library: /Library/Apache2/lib/libaprutil.0.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

The file libaprutil.0.dylib is a shortcut that points to libaprutil-0.0.9.4.dylib in the same directory.

I should also tell you this:
1) I upgraded from PHP 4.3.1 to 4.3.3
Note: the phpinfo() reads it as php 4.3.1. Have not figured out why yet.

2) I then upgraded mySQL from 4.0.12 to 4.0.15. Works fine.

3) Changed LoadModule cgid_module modules/mod_cgid.so to LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so before installation as per instructions in Read Me.

4) Then, I upgraded the Apache
 
Problem solved!

I had the wrong PHP package installed. Installed right one. Server started working. ErrorDocuments started working. I have no idea what the PHP and ErrorDocs had to do with each other, but they work. All's well.

Thank you for your help.

I thought I had this fixed!?!?! :eek:

I have custom ErrorDocuments created for my local server that are really strange. Whenever I type in a URL that doesn't exist I get the 404 page just like it is supposed to, no matter how deep in the directory I go.

However, I have a website that for some reason is giving me a 403 error. The ErrorDocument I wrote for that doesn't work according to Apache. Apache says,
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /webcode/xhtmlref/index.html on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Now, if I move the xhtmlref folder to the root directory my 403 page works like it supposed to!?!?!

Question 1 - Why doesn't my 403 page work regardless of where the error occurs?

Question 2 - Why do I get a 403 error at all? I checked the permissions and they are legit. I have 6 other folders that do not give any errors. I can access them just fine.
