Custom error pages on Ubuntu 20.4 Apache

Posted on November 13, 2021

Hi. I have a HTML website deployed using apache2 on a ubuntu 20.4 droplet. I have a top-level .htaccess file, but I am still getting the default apache error pages. Any ideas?

Hi @jdogcoder,

  • where is your DocumentRoot?
  • full Apache configuration file or vHost?
  • .htaccess file? (you can change sensible information if present…)
  • apache error log file content?
  • do you want to show a custom error pages?

in my experience, if you are using “/home/<user>/” as DocumentRoot, this is a headache…

I hope to hear from you soon …

A big hug,

HR ;)
