How to customize 403 error page in apache on Linux?
 

Hi All,
I've configured in apache on linux to display custome error page for error 403.
i just entered the following line in httpd.conf file
ErrorDocument 403 /path/for/html/file

Here we are using Https.
Any idea how to configure it so that the custom error page is displayed my .html file?


Thanks,

Hi,

Could you tell what's wrong with that?
It should work and display the /path/for/html/file when a 403 error occurs

Hi,

It shows default page only

You mean the message:
produced by apache?
Are you sure that /path/for/html is under the DocumentRoot? Mind that you don't use a full path from "/", but a path relative to DocumentRoot. So if DocumentRoot is /var/www, the file location on the filesystem should be at /var/www/path/for/html/file

Hi,

This is what am got

ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access /login/visitor/loginMG.jsp on this server.Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hi,

This is a permissions problem. You can run:
and see if it works

Also it could be a SELinux problem if you're trying to access a directory outside the DocumentRoot (that's /var/www/html by default for RHEL)

Hi,

Open a xterm, become root if neede by running su or sudo and run those chmod commands.
