Custom Error Pages - All HTTP errors

How to create Custom Error Pages you can find in AWS documentation. Many people know 404 error or 403, but what mean, for expample, error 505 or 414? You don`t know? So Systemsoft is here to help you! :D Maybe not all errors are useful for a server, but important errors and categories I marked on red colour

---
Information Codes

100 - Continue
The request was successful. The process can now continue.
101 - Switching Protocols
The request for the server to switch protocols was accepted, such as a switch from ftp to http.

Succes Codes

200 - OK
The item requested of the server is available (keep in mind, available, not accepted or completed).
201 - Created
A new address has been created through the use of form posting, perl, cgi, etc..
202 - Accepted
The request has been accepted (keep in mind that the request has been accepted, not completed).
203 - No-Authorative Information
The information received is not from the server that the information was requested from, but from another source.
204 - No Content
There was no content to be given for the request. For instance if you click on a hyperlink, imagemap, or button that isn't linked to anything or doesn't do anything.
205 - Reset Content
A script has reset the displayed content.
206 - Partial Content
Only partial content has been displayed. This could be due to bandwidth, poor caching, bad html, or other reasons.

Redirection Codes

300 - Multiple Choices
You will either get a choice of pages or an error message when this occurs. The address is actually pointing to two multiple files and/or locations.
301 - Moved Permanently
The requested page has been permanently moved. The server will automatically redirect you to the new location.
302 - Found
The requested page has been temporarily moved. The server will automatically redirect you to the new location.
303 - See Other
The requested data is stored in an alternate location and the GET method will be used to retrieve the data. If the actual error is returned then this may be due to a web server misconfiguration.
304 - Not Modified
The requested data has not been modified since the last request.
305 - Use Proxy
The requested data may only be accessed via the use of a proxy server.
307 - Temporary Redirect
The requested page has been moved. The server will automatically redirect you to the new location. Unlike Error 301 and 302 however, the server has not specified whether the move is temporary or permanent.

Client Error Code

400 - Bad Request
The request was denied due to a syntax error in the request.
401 - Unauthorized
Your IP address or the username/password you entered were not correct. Your request was denied as you have no permission to access the data.
402 - Payment Required
The data is not accessible at the time. The owner of the space has not yet payed their service provider.
403 - Forbidden
Your IP address or the username/password you entered were not correct. Your request was denied as you have no permission to access the data.

OR

The server was unable to serve the data that was requested.
404 - Not Found
The document that has been requested either no longer exists, or has never existed on the server.
405 - Method Not Allowed
The method you are using to access the document is not allowed. Possible methods include:

CONNECT
DELETE
GET
HEAD
OPTIONS
POST
PUT
TRACE
406 - Not Acceptable
The client (webbrowser) does not accept the document format. The formats that may be specified not to accept are charset, encoding, certain file types, languages, or ranges.
407 - Proxy Authorization Required
The browser has not been authenticated on the required proxy server to access the data. This error is probably most commonly returned by content filters/parental controls.
408 - Request Timeout
The server has closed the socket due to communications between the client and server taking too long. This could be due to server load, bandwidth issues, the client being disconnected from the internet, etc.
409 - Conflict
Too many requests for the same file at one time.

OR

There is a conflict with an established software rule. (ie: you are trying to copy over a file with an older version, or you do not have permissions to delete a file)

OR

This could be caused by a DNS issue.
410 - Gone
This is like a 404 error in that the document requested is not on the server, however this differs in that the server 'knows' that the file used to be there and 'believes' that the file may be back, so it returns 410 rather 404.
411 - Lenght Required
When trying to send a document to the server the server did not recieve a Content-Length specification in the header.
412 - Precondition Failed
A precondition setting required by the client or server has not been met.
413 - Request Entity Too Large
The process is too large to process. (ie: a file you are trying to upload is too large to fit on the server, or a webpage you are trying to download is too large for the server to process)
414 - Request-URL Too Large
The URL requested is simply too long. It is most likely more than 1024, 2048, or 4096 characters in length.
415 - Unsupported Media Type
This usually occurs if the server does not support the type of media the client is requesting. (ie: the server does not support streaming media, but streaming media is on the server and the client is attempting to access it)
416 - Requested Range Not Satisfiable
The client request included a range for acceptable file size, however the document requested did not fit into that range.
417 - Expectation Failed
The client's expect header requested certain server behaviors that the server could not perform.

Server Error Code

500 - Internal Server Error
The server encountered an error. This is most often caused by a scripting problem, a failed database access attempt, or other similar reasons.
501 - Not Implemented
The method you are using to access the document can not be performed by the server. Possible methods include:

CONNECT
DELETE
GET
HEAD
OPTIONS
POST
PUT
TRACE
502 - Bad Gateway
The document requested resides on a 3rd party server and the original server received an error from the 3rd party server.
503 - Service Unavaible
The server is overloaded or down for maintenance and due to this was unable to process the client request.
504 - Gateway Timeout
Most likely the client has lost connectivity (disconnected from the internet) or the cleint's host is having technical difficulties. This could also mean that a server that allows access to the requested server is down, having bandwidth/load issues, or otherwise unavailable.
505 - HTTP Version Not Supported
The server does not support the HTTP version used by the client. (This usually occurs if the server is using an OLDER version of HTTP than the client.)

vanderschee,

The default custom error page shouldn't contain the full URL. Just enter /error/index.html there.
Next, you error page HTML code includes an image using a relative path. You'd rather use an absolute path there. For example, if error.jpg is in your error folder, use:

Thanks for your reply,

I've changed full url into /error/index.html

The image is in the same directory as the index.html, so if i point:
<img src="error/error.jpg> instead of <img src="error.jpg>
it is wrong.
And the only thing what schould happen is that I would get a page without the picture...but atleast I would have the page.
This is still not hapening and I dont understand why...
The page exist and I am pointing to it...

Hi,

You write I have to put /error/error.jpg in my code.
I guess that you mean in the HTML-code of http://vanderschee.ipupdater.com/error and not in the abbyss configuration,
because you write <img src=....>
But the HTML source is oke, because you see it working in
http://vanderschee.ipupdater.com/error

Yes, we were speaking about the page HTML code. (by the way, your page shows the regular error 403).

I realy dont get it.
If I use plain text I gett my errorpage if I go to http://vanderschee.ipupdater.com/wrongtext
but if I use a picture in the errorpage, it won't work.
It isnt in the html because I write all my internetsites in plain HTML.
The sugestions you gave me didn't work, so I guess it stays this way.

Thanks anyway....

I think I can help you...Don`t offend, but you are unexperienced, right?
Firstly, I don`t know what you mean about plain HTML. There is no graphical HTML! It`s only differences are in editors. Anyway, are you using WYSIWIG editor (e.g FrontPage, Dreamweaver) or text editor (e.g I don`t know). This image must have following path: /error/error.jpg, not: error/error.jpg. Now, page: http://vanderschee.ipupdater.com/error/ will don`t work, but for expamle: http://vanderschee.ipupdater.com/somethingwrong will. But if for you it`s problem set path: http://vanderschee.ipupdater.com/error/error.jpg. Do you understand?

hi,

Thanks a lot.
Now I gett it. It isnt my experiance in HTML...I write in notepad and do not use an other editor...(For example take a look at a site I made, http://www.jongerenweek.nl )

I am unexperianced in having my own server....thats for sure.

So I know now that I can direct to an errorpage with only text...
And if I want to show an image, I have to direct to this Immage directly.

It seems to be impossible to make an errorpage (/error/index.html) with in that index.html an Image, becouse it will not show..

But what I wanted is to show an image, and that works now...

Thanks again,

Peter van der Schee

I only get it in phpmyadmin, but I can still create databases, but just now password protect 'em

kev1952 · Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 10:36 pm Post subject:

Could someone explain codes 200 & 304 (particularly 304) in more detail for me, please? Code 200 is pretty obvious but 304 is odd - are they interchangeable?
