I am trying to set a custom error document in an alias.

Alias /f1 "/media/data/www/f1" <Directory "/media/data/wwww/f1"> AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl Options Includes Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all ErrorDocument 404 "Something was not found!" </Directory>

This absolutely does not seem to work! The same directives in a virtual host works just fine. What am I doing wrong?

I could not find any reference that states that I cannot have custom error messages in an Alias Section.

  • I indeed had wwww instead of www Thanks to @Imo for pointing it out. Commented Apr 19, 2012 at 2:24

I have tested this for you and it worked fine. It looks like you've got a typo in your directory statement. (wwww instead of www)

  • Thank you! As lame as it is. The typo of wwww was the only thing that stopped this from working :-) Phew! I wasted 2 hours trying to troubleshoot this before surrendering it to ServerFault. Commented Apr 19, 2012 at 2:22
  • It happens to us all. Often takes someone else fresh to the problem to spot it. :) Commented Apr 19, 2012 at 2:50
