server.errorfile-prefix option

server.errorfile-prefix

identifies the path prefix to a list of static error files

you can customize what page to send back based on a status code. This provides you with an alternative way to customize 404 pages.

You may also customize other status-codes with their own custom page (500 pages, etc). Only static files are allowed to be sent back.

Format: <errorfile-prefix><status-code>.html

Example

{{{
    server.errorfile-prefix = "/srv/www/htdocs/errors/status-" 
    }}}

Now create static pages for your error handling in directory /srv/www/htdocs/errors.  Based on the above entry you must name your files status-(status-code).html

{{{
    /srv/www/htdocs/errors/status-404.html
    /srv/www/htdocs/errors/status-500.html
    /srv/www/htdocs/errors/status-501.html
    }}}

create custom pages for any error status code.
