If you don't have anthing in your .htaccess file, how is the hack working at all? Sure, if you go to www.yourdomain.com/forums/httperror.php?e=404 you'll see the error page, but what if you go to www.yourdomain.com/xkaooe3991.html, a file which probably doesn't exist on your server, do you get the error page from my hack then? Because as far as I'm aware, custom error pages need to be "pointed" to by the .htaccess file, otherwise you get the generic error page. And if I'm wrong about that, then I guess I need to be re-educated. :)

hi people,

it looks like this is not working for error code 401 (autorization requirerd) the screen that comes up if you try to login to restricted area with the wrong login information.My apache error_log shows this

for this error code it must be a local document so ......

should do it but nope ...

Assuming that your httperror.php is in the web root (meaning not in a forums subfolder), did you try it without the beginning slash? Try it using a path name instead of a URL?

hi,

Yes the httperror.php is in the "webroot" i didn't tryed that yet (using an aboslute pathname or remoing the slash) will give that a shot and get back to you

Nah actually it was just a silly mistake I've made. I forgot to upload the product XML file via the admincp. The hack's working just fine! :)

just tryed this absolute path and no beginning "/" but the problem is elsewhere i think my apache error_log shows this

i'm on a dedicated server (cpanel) maybe that has anything todo with it i didn't configure the "errorpages" in my cpanel through

well,

punch me but all of a sudden it started to work.All i did before it started to work is just access the page that would bring up that error page eg http://www.yourserver.com/httperror.php?e=401 and the line in my .htaccess for errorcode 401 is

also i found while searching on google that the leading "/" means to be a local document not a url

Thanks a lot, it's great, it saved me lots of time :)

I will shortly be changing the instructions to not have the full URL to the file, just the local file name, as in Delphiprogrammi's code example in Post# 47. Maybe it only applies to the one type of error, maybe there are others, so just in case, I'm recommending that for all of them.

After I installed this a lot of my members complain that they keep seing it in pages that exist, especially on the home page of the site!
