How to create custom error pages – DirectAdmin

Error pages are HTML pages that are displayed to your site visitors on special occasions. For example, if the visitor tries to access a page that doesn’t exist, the server can load a custom made 404 error page.

This KB article is intended for DirectAdmin shared hosting users.

How to set up a custom error page in DirectAdmin:

1. Log into your DirectAdmin panel
2. Locate Advanced Features >> Custom Error Pages
3. Here you can edit four error types:
   – 401 Unauthorized
   – 403 Forbidden
   – 404 Not Found
   – 500 Internal Server Error
4. Let’s say you want to edit the 404 file. Click the Edit button
5. A simple HTML editor will open. Make the desired changes. In the end, save the page by clicking the Save As button. Do not change the file name.
6. Test it by accessing a file that doesn’t exist on your server, like domain.com/test1234.html
