cPanel redirects and custom error pages

[Matt]

Hi Matt

That's great and we will definitely try that but I would love to know how to use those functions effectively for next time. And would like to create custom error pages using our logo and links etc

Kind regards

Custom error pages are different than redirection. A custom error page would simply turn that ugly 500 error you had earlier into something that looked like your own website, or they could use javascript to redirect the user to the homepage if you wanted to do something like that.

All you need to do is make a web page like usual and name it 404.shtml or 500.shtml and put standard HTML or SHTML code in the file so that it looks like what you want it to or does what you want it to.

Unfortunately I do not know what Sergey put in your .htaccess file. perhaps he or you will share it with the rest of the community so that others trying to do the same thing can benefit from this post.
