Author ErrorDocument, Redirect and WebSphere web plugin

2004-08-18, 7:55 am

Hi,

I saw that some people had problems with the ErrorDocument setting, but my case seems to be particular.
The issue I'm facing is as follows:
I can't redirect users to a customized error page.

My configuration is:
I have a front web server linked to WebSphere by the WebSphere web plugin.
I have also some virtual host in my http.conf because we need to redirect users (We have DNS aliases to offer customers easy and short URLs).

My http.conf has the following parameters:
NameVirtualHost websphere-test
<VirtualHost app01.fr.myfirm.com app01> (app01 is the DNS alias used by customers for the first application)
ServerAlias app01.fr.myfirm.com
ErrorDocument 404 /Error404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /Error500.html
Redirect permanent / http://app01.fr.myfirm.com/app01
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost app02.fr.myfirm.com app02> (app02 is the DNS alias used by customers for the second application)
ServerAlias app02.fr.myfirm.com
ErrorDocument 404 /Error404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /Error500.html
Redirect permanent / http://app02.fr.myfirm.com/app01
</VirtualHost>


(The document root is set to
DocumentRoot "C:\Program Files\IBM HTTP Server/htdocs/en_US"

(At the end of the httpd.conf we have the web plugin loading lines)
LoadModule ibm_app_server_http_module "C:\Program Files\IBM HTTP Server\modules/mod_ibm_app_server_http.dll"
WebSpherePluginConfig "C:\Program Files\IBM HTTP Server\conf/plugin-cfg.xml"

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot for any help you could provide.

PS: An additionnal question: How can I manage to make special characters appearing like less than, greater than signs ? It seems that the browser view them as HTML code.

I am not in a position to setup and test what you are trying but these are
my thoughts:
You have not set DocumentRoot for each of the VirtualHost, so it will use
the default (global)
DocumentRoot and hence always display the same error pages for both the
Virtual Hosts.

If this is not the issue then can you please post what is the exact error
you are seeing. Please include any entries in the access_log and error_log
of the HTTP Server.
