Creating Custom 'Page not Available!' Page

[dz_boy]

Is it possible to create a custom page for links that don't work? Like, similar to the Page not Available you get in IE... can you create your own and have it come up instead without a database?

You have to have some access to the web server's configuration. Each server does it differently, too.

Any ideas on how?

well first, if you have ftp, look for a file named .htaccess on your server. if you do, check out http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess2.shtml

What about access.cnf?

Some hosts let you designate a custom error page very easily. You can even use your index page, so they'd never see any error page, just your home page again.

What about access.cnf?Nope, that's a Frontpage Extension file. Do you know what kind of server is there?

if you have cpanel available, there's a link on the main page of cpanel to set your error pages.

it all depends on ur web server. if u r using IIS then it is very simple to adjust. just open IIS manager > Custom Error Pages > Point the new page to where the default error page resides.
