To use your own error page you must first create the page you want displayed. All error pages may be created through the cpanel control panel. The cpanel control panel is located by typing http://www.yourdomainname.com/cpanel , then logging in with your user name and password.

The Error Documents you may customize along with a brief description are:

• 400 - Bad request. This document is displayed when a visitor requests a page that has been removed or the visitor mistyped the URL extention
• 401 - Authorization Required. This document is displayed when a visitor supplies an incorrect username/password to a restricted area of your web site.
• 403 - Forbidden. This document is displayed when a visitor tries to access an area of your web site which you have specifically forbidden access.
• 404 - File Not Found. This document is displayed when a visitor requests a specific page and the page is no longer available (renamed or deleted).
• 500 - Internal Server Error. This document is displayed when an error occurs while running a script.

For a complete description of the ErrorDocument Directive see http://www.apache.org/
