: Custom Error Pages

You can create custom error pages for your web site using an .htaccess file in your web server root directory. Simply create a file named .htaccess (or edit the one that might already be in your root folder) and add the following line to it:

ErrorDocument 404 /errordocs/page_not_found.html

This will cause the page named "page_not_found.html" located in a folder named "errordocs" to be displayed if a visitor to your web site tries to access a page that does not exist.  The three main types of error documents are:

1. Switch on support for custom error documents through the Plesk interface. Go to a specific domain's administration page, click Setup, and select the Custom Error Documents checkbox.
2. Edit or replace the respective files. Be sure to preserve the correct file names:

• 400 Bad File Request - bad_request.html
• 401 Unauthorized - unauthorized.html
• 403 Forbidden/Access denied - forbidden.html
• 404 File Not Found - not_found.html
• 500 Internal Server Error - internal_server_error.html

3. Once done editing, you will have to wait until the web server is restarted. After that, the web server will start using your error documents.
