Apache settings 'Requested URL Not Found'

geekG · 06-02-2013, 06:45 PM

Hi everyone!

I am note quite good at Apache, and trying to tweak the settings.

I randomly put an incorrect url, and it gives a page 'Requested URL not found'. Can any one please tell me the location of this page? I want to replace/update it the page.

Thanks in advance.

The default location for application in an Apache installation is /var/www/html or /usr/local/apache2/htdocs

Make sure you have your directory placed here in "/var/www/html" or "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs" and it has an index.html or index.php file

in your case, the folder structure, should be like this "/var/www/html/manual1" or "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/manual1" and an index.html file inside "manual1" directory

If you are using PHP , another approach can to use some sort of framework like zend , CodeIgnitor etc which lets you customize different error pages for different projects.

Genocide_Hoax, thnx. it's a simple page with css and javascript. but i think i can put the php block on top too. no?

What I was trying to tell you is instead of hard coding your error pages directly in your apache module , you can use a framework to work on your projects and create project specific error pages.

sure. this can be good stuffs to hack. thnx.

Well I won't call it a hack. Rather a trick which many PHP web programmers have migrated to and besides good frameworks saves a lot of time. Let me know if you are looking for something similar in other language.
