You can specify a custom error response that sends a detailed message to
clients when they encounter errors from your server. You can specify a file to
send or a CGI program to run.
Instead of sending back the default file, you might want to send a custom error
response. For example, if a client repeatedly tries to connect to a part of your
server protected by access control, you might return an error file with
information on obtaining an account.
You can customize the response to the following kinds of errors:
Unauthorized: Occurs when users without access permission try to access
a document on the server that is protected by access control.
Forbidden: Occurs when the server doesn't have file system permissions
to read something, or if the server is not permitted to follow symbolic
links.
Not Found: Occurs when the server can't find a document or when it has
been instructed to deny the existence of a document.
Server Error: Occurs when the server is not configured properly or when
a catastrophic error occurs, such as the system running out of memory or
producing a core dump.
Before you can set up the response, you need to write the HTML file to send
or create the CGI program to run.
