When a user receives an error message they will be served one of the appropriate error pages within your vBulletin site.
Why?
More often when a user hits an error message on a site they will hit the back button and leave, this way the user is already on your site and can navigate into your site.
Important your server must be able to support .htaccess file.
1. Unzip
2. Upload the contents of forum folder to your forum folder.
2. Add the contents of text file to your .htaccess file at the root of the server, you may need to edit and or rename the paths to suit your setup.
3. Import the product file.
4. You are done.
lol. What a lame error message. And it's BlueHost once again (not the hack author's fault). That provider should be shut down.
Spikeman,
very nice hack. It would be even nicer if it used standard_error instead of separate pages.
i use Bluehost.com also... and lately, i have been getting that same lame msg.. i figured out it was my shoutbox that was causing the error.. apparently, bluehost servers cant handle the load..and crashes... this was making my site look so bad... that i took the shoutbox out..... so far... no more crashes
oh.... and this hack.... is greatly appreciated.... it makes my site more uniform....now, even my errors are seamless

Tell me about it, I am trying to get it all moved now, how pathetic, 14 users and quota error, does not help that i got a load of script kiddies trying to exploit flashchat but still bluehost are history with me!

I have had the quota errors all week, never had one before, but enough is enough.

Another Suggestion - is it possible to give a 301 back at 404 Errors to forum/index.php ?
well, 301=moved permanently, auto redirect? I will look into that, i checked w3.org whilst I was writing the hack, and opted to leave out alot of codes for the reason of doing more research for compliance.
Quote:
w3.org. If 301 is received by a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect unless confirmed by user, since this may change the conditions which request was issued.
That could bring in a 410(gone) if the server knows, through some internal configurable script that it has permantly unavailable and has no forwarding address...... and it goes on and on as you may know.... there are a few things to look into, but it will take some time I believe. I will get wol and phrases done first and then take it from there.

Best was if this was changeable at AdminCP to forum/cmps_index.php for the ones that use vBadvanced.
Yes I think all of these will need to go through AdminCp so they can be turned on and off or as you say redirect for the vBa users on cmps_index.php
