ErrorDocument question
|
|
|
| I am not a Unix server admin, just a user on a shared system, and I'm not
sure of the best group to ask this question, but I would like to edit my
..htaccess 404 redirect so that it captures the pathname of the URL (i.e.
for http://www.example.com/pathname.html I would want to capture the
'pathname.html' portion of the URI). I am thinking I could pass it on this
way: http;//www.mysite.com/404.html?pathname.html
Is there a way I can capture all or part of the requested URL in a variable
I can then tack onto the ErrorDocument string in the .htaccess file?
Thanks for any help!

You don't mention the web server but since you say Unix I'll assume
Apache. It would be useful to know the version.
Any request for a nonexistent page will normally be logged in the Apache
error log. Many hosting copmanies provide their customers with access to
the error log - check your hosting control-panel.
If you dont have access to the error log but do have access to CGI or
PHP then you can write a custom error handler to deal with 404 "document
not found" errors.
