Hi there,
I just want one 404 page which will catch anyone mistyping the domain name in or trying to get to a page which isn’t live. So I’ve created an oops page here: https://www.wesmcghee.com/404.php.
Can I simply pop this in my htaccess file or is it bad practice to do this?
ErrorDocument 400 https://www.wesmcghee.com/404.php
ErrorDocument 403 https://www.wesmcghee.com/404.php
ErrorDocument 404 https://www.wesmcghee.com/404.php
ErrorDocument 500 https://www.wesmcghee.com/404.php
Did you ever encountered these other errors (than 404 not found)?
No not that I know of, I was just trying to cover all the possible error options. Is it unnecessary?
There’s a lot more than you have listed. Typing errors should get you a 404. Each error number has a reason, and really should be displayed to help the user determine what went wrong.
If you aren’t using special server side features beside PHP on Apache, you should be fine with 404.
Your host should be able to give you some code to take care of everything. Fire them a support ticket.
