Best Practice N°82- Level1- Section server
Description
The server transfers a custom 404 error page.
Objectives
Gives the user information on the error that has been encountered, on whether the server is up an functioning and so user connexion is not in quastion.
Possible technical solutions:
Modify the Web server configuration in order to redirect users to a custom page when a requested resource can not be located
If the main server configuration is not available and the environment allows it, use a local directory configuration.
For example, the Apache environment makes it possible to create a .htaccess file with information regarding error management: ErrorDocument 404 /mypage.html
Control methods:
Modify a URL in order to obtain an error 404 and chaeck that the page which is returned is a custom error page.
Put these Best Practices to use.
