Apache redirect for non existing page

cooljai · 11-03-2008, 08:05 AM

dear members,

I want a rewrite rule to achieve something like this:

At present, when user writes http://www.example.com/tags/car.html the car.html page open and if the car.html is not there, our site's 404 error page is displayed to indicate that car.html is not there.

I want to redirect to /tags when a page below it not exist instead of displaying 404 page.

So,

http://www.example.com/tags/car.html if not found, open http://www.example.com/tags

Thanks

You can use the ErrorDocument directive to do what you want. If your index page is, for example, index.htm and the path to the directory you want to control is /path/to/docroot/tags

Code:

<Directory /path/to/docroot/tags>
...
ErrorDocument 404 /tags/index.htm
</Directory>
