Question about ErrorDocument directive and paths

[mdkelly]

Hello again all,

I recently setup custom error documents on my web server. They work well most of the time, but depending on where the document is loaded from will depend on where the document will lok for images, etc.

Example:

http://vic.komex.com/testfolder

does not exist and returns the error page formatted

http://vic.komex.com/testfolder/testfolder/test

does not exist and error page is not formatted correctly as no correct image, css, and javascript paths are found properly.

Is there anyway to remedy this without have to use a hardcoded URL like

http://vic.komex.com/errordocs/404.html

thanks for any input

Hi mate,

Make sure your image paths are from the root directory.

Instead of src="image.gif" use src="/404/image.gif"

Hope this helps

Hi again Wullie,

Yes it did help. I set everything to be referenced from the root directory and now it appears as it should.

Thank you

Yup - it seems to be ok from what I see. I clicked your links before reading all the posts.
