404 htaccess code

dvtimes

08-19-05, 01:10 AM

An example:

ErrorDocument 400 /errors/badrequest.html
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/authreqd.html
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/forbid.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/notfound.html
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/serverr.html

You need to save this code as .htaccess

The easist thing to do is copy into a text editor. Save as a text file. Move it to your server, then rename it .htaccess

so this bit of text -

ErrorDocument 400 /errors/badrequest.html
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/authreqd.html
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/forbid.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/notfound.html
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/serverr.html

as a text file saved to my server then rename?

thats is pure russian to me - :blush:

Its very simple. Just copy this text into a text editor:

ErrorDocument 400 /errors/badrequest.html
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/authreqd.html
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/forbid.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/notfound.html
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/serverr.html

Basicly these are the 5 errors you get.

400 - badrequest and so on.

You can change the end to whatever you want, such as:

ErrorDocument 400 /errors/index.htm
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/index.htm
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/index.htm
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/index.htm
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/index.htm

By changing to index.htm it will send you to your index page.

Or you can add a site link on the end:

ErrorDocument 400 /errors/http://www.google.com
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/http://www.google.com
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/http://www.google.com
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/http://www.google.com
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/http://www.google.com

and bad links will go to google.

This may also be of help:

USING .HTACCESS:

To prevent your content area from being bookmarked:

1. Make sure the content area of your site is in a seperate folder.
2. Using your favorite text editor create a file in the same folder and add the following lines

AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mysite.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mysite.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule /* http://www.mysite.com/signup.htm [R,L]

3. Change mysite.com/ to your domain name
4. Change http://www.mysite.com/signup.htm to the URL where the script is installed.
5. Save this file in the your contents folder and name it .htaccess (note the dot in the beginning)

Paul with webair. all you have to do is create a page and save it as 404.html in the main folder. But remember with images etc, to put the full url in becuase if the page missing, is in a seperate folder then he images may look missing.

P.S I agree with Paul. Craig slow down on the puzzles please

I have a 404 page and I have banners and text links to some sponsors I also have links to toplists so I will be feeding them.

I did have a lot of links to a PPC sponsor, but like every fucking PPC sponsor I've used, all 3 of them, they are a rip off and have not paid me a penny, so they are gone from that page now.

I remember PPC sponsors offering 4cents and all that. You send them a ton of traffic and at the end of the day you have 8cents in you're account.

Are there any good PPC sponsors left?

I don't think there are any, I was using one and making $25 per day, they then dropped my rate down. They owed me about $450, but that dropped to about $80. I got to $100 then asked for my money. That was about a year ago and I'm still waiting.

Recently I tried another one and I reached the minimum amount in June and I'm still waiting to be paid. I have E-mailed them about 4 times and have heard nothing.

The annoying thing is I could have sent that traffic to toplists and maybe have got some reasonable traffic back.

Why don't you park a domain and filter traffic to it? If you want to make cash ppc this is far and away the best way.
Sedo.com is an example - Not the best, but much better than a few cents a click - They pay in Euros

Email me at admin@dvtimes.com and I will make you a .htaccess file.

If it does not work for you its easy to remove.

All you need to do is tell me what page you want me to send your 404 to.
