I modified a couple custom error pages using the lovely control panel, but the result (for a 404 response) is this: --------------- The requested URL /~pfeiffer/xxx was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. --------------- Any ideas why my error message is, itself, generating a page-not-found error? I tried saving the 404 page both as "404.shtml" and "404.html"...

Justin If I had reached up and pulled down my Apache guide I could have figured this out myself, but the cPanel set-up is so slick that I assumed it must be a "bigger problem". I'm _very_ impressed and pleased by the whole hosting package -- much better than what I previously had (for which I was paying the price of a ProZ.com platinum membership). -Kevin | | | justin C United States Local time: 22:29 English Glad to hear it, Kevin | Feb 15, 2006 |
