HTML - Custom 404 Redirect Page Ht.access
Hi all
I am trying to set up a custom 404 page for when a user visits a broken/error page. I have read several other pages telling me how to do it, and they all pretty much the same thing, however it isnt working. Keep getting this on the page when i enter a broken link: Not Found The requested URL /clients/index.htm was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I have set up a ht.access text document with the following code: ErrorDocument 404 error-page.html An error-page.html page has also been created. Now, am i even naming ht.access file right? Do i need any other code in the error-page.html to make it work? im going round in circles, getting nowhere, i hope someone can help!! Similar TutorialsHi, I am trying to restrict access to a certain page on my website. I don't really want to set up a username and password, instead of was thinking of the following 2 things to verify. #1: would be for them to enter an email address that ends in either "@weber.edu" or "@mail.weber.edu". #2: would be for them to have to enter an identification number which must start with a "w" and must have 8 numbers after the w. No more, and no less than 8 numbers. For example: Email address: jay@mail.weber.edu Identification number: W01234567 If those two conditions are met, then they can have access to the page. Any clue how to write the code for that? Thank you very much! Hi. I'm new to web development, and since I didn't have any luck on google with this I thought I'd ask here. What I need is the ability to allow only one user to access my page at a time, with the access time tied to their account/password. This is not a general web page, and you already have to vpn to get to it so overall security isn't a big deal. The system allows remote control of a few simple machines, and currently if more than one person can get to it simultaneously the last access steals control. Anyway, heres an example: Joe's Time: 1:00 - 3:00 M, cannot login before 1:00 and auto-logout at 3:00 Tom's Time: 3:00 -5:00 M, Bob's Time, etc.. I suspect this might require Java or something, but I don't have the first clue where to start looking. Its a windows box btw, and I don't have control of the user machines so this has to be set up for my local directory. Any hints (or free code if this is a simple/stupid question) are appreciated. hi, im 13, im new to html, and im making a business site. anyway, i have the latest version of Adobe GoLive (if that helps) but i'd much prefer to use plain html code. i need a page that asks for a password and if its correct takes me to a page with stuff on it. can i have a little code plz? =) thanks anyone knows a way to sign into google apps without involving a google hosted sign in page? somebody in a blog described same problem like "We're having a Google Apps mail service. And we want to create a gmail login form on our main site. The mail login page resides at mail.our_domain.com.

Thank you very much, Brandon Hi, I am trying to set up a webpage where the only way someone can access it is if they came from my facebook page. What is the easiest way to do this? thanks in advance. hello, I'm working on a site with a lengthy online application. When a user begins the application he is told to use the back and forward buttons on our form (not on his browser). We find that users still accidentally use the browser buttons and when they do a "Webpage has expired" error page comes up. This error page is not part of our site and is a dead end. I'm not a programmer so I don't know the specifics. I take it as a given that that browser buttons cannot function normally in our application, but I'd like to know if there is a way to get control of the error page that comes up when users do click their browser buttons. If we can show them a page reminding them not to use the browser buttons and put a link there to get them back to the application it would be a big help. Thanks Hello, If I were to change my pages from thispage.html to thispage.php or this-page.html how would I make sure that the old page will redirect to the new one?

Hello all i've been doing some research on my own and am simply trying to redirect my site "ndcubed.com" to "ndcubed.com/Construction/Constuction.html" when my site is undergoing maintenance. I've managed to read up on some tutorials and have found that this is apparently supposed to work: In the .htaccess file Code: Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/Construction/Construction.html$ RewriteRule $ /Construction/Construction.html [R=302,L] This works like a charm and redirects all my pages to Construction.html however if you try going to my site the redirected URL is simply a blank page. However when the code in the .htaccess file is removed it isn't blank and displays normally. What could be going wrong, why would a redirect cause this page to not load correctly? Nothing is loaded except plain text, even the page background isn't displayed. Thank you for your help, I feel like i'm so close to getting this solved. Construction.html source: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background-image: url(Images/lightGrayBack.png); background-repeat: repeat; } --> </style></head> <body> Test </body> </html> ok guys thanks for all help you have given me so far.

Hey everyone, This is my first post here, and I was hoping you guys could help me with a problem I am having. I own a race photography company and I am trying to find a way to create a form that athletes can fill out and it will take them to their images. I have keyworded all the images on my smugmug site with a race id followed by a number, such as "gunstock 6" So if they visit http://blahblahblah.smugmug.com/keyword/gunstock 6 it will bring up all the images of them from that race (every image keyworded with gunstock 6) However..... what I want to do is make that into a form which will take them to that specific page. I am a newbie when it comes to designing forms and webpages, and after searching around, it seemed the form get command sort of achieves what I want, in that it takes the form input and places it in the url. However... it also places the usual query text such as the question mark, =, and all that good stuff. So when I enter the race id and number on my form, it will instead take me to the url .../keyword/?=gunstock&=6, which instead of being a defined page with all of the images keyworded gunstock 6, it will just bring me to the keyword search page of smugmug. Is there any way to design a form that redirects simply to the .../keyword/raceid # url format? Thanks a million! I know how to do a basic redirect, but this is a bit more tricky. We use a CMS system to do most of our Web site but that limits me to do any html in the "head" since the programmers "locked us out." I'd like to put an html file on the root of the site to do a redirect to correct a link problem. We sent out an email with the wrong link - problem is, the link goes to a dynamic page. I want to REDIRECT that page to a new static page. This has to be possible....isn't it? I want anyone clicking on the link below: http://www.macpa.org/Public/Catalog/...rseID=09191010 to be redirected to this page: http://www.macpa.org/Content/25187.aspx HELP! Hello, I'm a windows app programmer, but don't know too much about HTML. I use Frontpage to maintain my web site. I need to check the referring page, and if it equals what I want, then I need to redirect to another page. OK, to explain further, I've had a web site for years. Lets call it www.p.com. Yesterday, I registered two new domain names, we'll call them www.a.com and www.b.com. I had my web host simply make them pointers directly to www.p.com. So, when users type in www.a.com or www.b.com, they are automatically taken to www.p.com. This is OK...but, it is causing some issues. What I'd like to do is, when the page (www.p.com) is loaded, I want the page to check the page the user came from, such as www.a.com. If it was www.a.com or www.b.com, then I want to re-load www.p.com, so that the page is refreshed so that it actually was www.p.com and not a re-direct from www.a.com. Can I do this? and how can this be done? Many thanks in advance! domls I have a page with a black background, and a script so that when a link is clicked the page fades out and then redirects to the link location. Since the background is black, the page fades to black before redirecting. How can I have it fade to white and then redirect? |
