cPanel offers a way that you can create your own error pages to replace the default ones. By making your error pages look more like your own site design, it makes it look much more customized and well-rounded.

There are 5 different available error types to customize.

* 400
* 401
* 403
* 404
* 500

A 400 error means that there is malformed syntax in a script.

A 401 error means that authorization is required in order to enter or view the specific file/folder.

A 403 error means that you are not allowed to view the file/folder, regardless of authorization.

A 404 error means that the file you requested was not found on the server.

A 500 error means there was an Internal Server Error.

To view/edit one of the error pages, click on the error number you wish to edit.

You will be displayed with a box that you can input your HTML. cPanel also provides 5 different built in vars that you can use to easily retrieve certain information from the user who received the error.

* domain. com/ index.php - Referring Website
* domain2. com/ myfile.htm - Destination Website

1. <!--#echo var="HTTP_REFERER" --> This will display what URL the user came from. If the user is at domain. com/ index.php, and clicks a link called, domain2. com/ myfile.htm, it would display domain. com/ index.php as the referring link.
2. <!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" --> This will display the users IP address. For example, 127.0.0.1.
3. <!--#echo var="REQUEST_URI" --> This is the documented that the user requested. domain2. com/ myfile.htm would be displayed.
4. <!--#echo var="REDIRECT_STATUS" --> Displays the status code if the request if the server was allowed to reply.
5. <!--#echo var="HTTP_USER_AGENT" --> This displays the type of browser the user is using.
6. <!--#echo var="HTTP_HOST" --> This displays the current host you are viewing. For example, if you are viewing the error on domain2. com/ myfile.htm, then the host would be domain2.com.

You can use HTML within the textarea as well. The vars offered by cPanel are just provided for any extra information you want to provide to the user that may help them report the error to you, the webmaster.
