creat custom 503 error page

hi everyone

i want to create a new 503 error page instead of the default one

my Apache

Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)

i am very beginner in Apache servers

waiting your replay

 

It's very simple in Apache, if you're using a VirtualHost, within the wanted VirtualHost stanza paste the following:

ErrorDocument 503 /path/to/my/503-file.php

Code (markup):

If you want the change globally across all sites, paste it in the httpd.conf anywhere, outside any stanza's. You can also paste it in a .htaccess file if you have them enabled. If I am wrong please, someone correct me, I haven't worked on Apache servers in a long time, my personal choice is nginx.

 

thanks for replay

but in which file i should place this line

 

In your httpd.conf, it's typically located at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, you can put it anywhere in the file, I'd put it at the bottom.

 

thanks for replay

but it did not work

how can i enable .htaccess

 

Are you sure you changed /path/to/my/503-file.php to the path of your custom file? What is the path you used?

Typically .htaccess is enabled by default, you just need to create a file called .htaccess in your sites directory, you would do it via SSH with something like this:

cd /var/www/mysite_directory
touch .htaccess
echo "ErrorDocument 503 /error/myerrorpage/503.php" >> .htaccess

Code (markup):

Make sure to change the directories relative to your site.

 

this is the code i used
ErrorDocument 503 /var/www/error/error503.html
