To customize the error page, you can click on the error page number (400, 401, 403, 404, 500) or the error page name (Bad Request, Authorization required, etc).

What are Apache Handlers?

Apache handlers allow you to control what Apache will do with certain file types. When Apache sees a file, it has an action built in for that file type, and will perform that action. If you wish Apache to do a different action, you will need to make a handler to tell Apache to perform that action.

For example, if you use a file type that requires a special service to run it, such as a file with server side includes that is not named with a .shtml extension, you need to tell Apache to treat these files differently. More information on Apache’s Handlers can be found at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/handler.html or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/handler.html.

Creating An Apache Handler

Steps

1. Enter the handler you want to create in the first empty text box.
2. In the second empty text box, enter the extension the handler will use when being called.
3. Click on the Add button.

Overview

MIME Types tell browsers how to handle specific file extensions. For example, the text/html MIME Types equates to .htm, .html, and .shtml extensions on most servers, telling your browser to interpret all files with those extensions as HTML files. You can alter or add new MIME Types specifically for your site (Note: You cannot alter the system defined MIME Types values). MIME Types are often used to handle new technologies as they appear. When WAP technology first appeared, no one had these extensions set up on their server. With MIME Types, however, you could have set it up yourself and began serving WAP pages immediately.

To learn more about MIME Types, view the WikiPedia web page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME.

Creating A MIME Type

Steps

1. Enter the MIME Type you want to create in the “Mime Type” text box.
2. Enter the Extension of the MIME Type you entered in Step 1 above in the “Extension(s)” text box.
3. Click on the Add button.
