Handle 404, 500, and 301 Errors as Well as Many Others With an .htaccess file
Dec 6, 2008 Code & Scripts, Programming, Quick Tips
Lets suppose you wanted to redirect users to your home page if they attempted to access a page that was NOT on your server. There is a very quick and simple way to do this. Its called a 404 redirect using an .htaccess file. You simply create a new file in Microsoft Notepad and type this: “ErrorDocument 404 /index.php” (Without the quotes). Then you simply save the file as .htaccess and upload it to your root directory. From now on when someone visits www.yoursite.com/chickentastes/good.html they will automatically be redirected to your homepage.
Interestingly enough you can also redirect to a specific page such as a custom 400 error page that you code up in php or html or whatever. See examples below. Just replace the “/errors/badrequest.html” part with “/myCustom400ErrorPage.php” and you’ll be fine.
