Setup Custom Error Docs on Plesk Linux VPS

Please add this code to your .htaccess file in the httpdocs directory.

ErrorDocument 403 /403.shtml
ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml
ErrorDocument 500 /500.shtml

Next, create a file named 403.shtml in your httpdocs folder. Now the 403 errors will yield the 403.shtml page. Repeat for 404.shtml and 500.shtml.

You can use the existing pages as the resulting page. Say you do not want any visitors seeing the 404 errors on your site. You can make your homepage show the result, like so:

ErrorDocument 404 /index.html

If the Internet Explorer is not displaying the custom error page, it is likely due to the error page being larger than 1 kilobyte.

There are many error pages that may be defined.
