.htaccess error pages
 

i wasn't sure if this is programming, then i decided it was so here goes:

my /.htaccess file


but then when the user goes to some made up page, it doesn't go to the errordocs/404.php page. it says "No input file specified."

when i trigger a 401 it just gives me the Forbidden page that it shows by default.

anyone know what's wrong?

You might try

ErrorDocument 403 /errordocs/403.php

and so forth. Is this your own server? If not, do you know for a fact the .htaccess facility is available to you?

It's a NetworkSolutions.com server.

I guess it's not available. Oh well, doesn't really matter.

I would gripe and complain 'til the enable it... or something comparably simple. (but then again, griping and complaining is what I do best ;) "a bitching private is a happy private")

One often doesn't get all the bells and whistles on a "freebie" site. I don't know if that's what you have or not. I didn't get .htaccess facilities on mine until I moved from the freebie to a paid account. They still don't have mod-rewrite (for anyone). I'm unfamiliar with Network Solutions (beyone their name), so I can't say what their policies are.

this isn't a freebie site, it's a professional hosting thing for a professional website i am making for a client. i think he pays like $10/month for it.

I would think you would have the capability, then. You should be able to tell by checking the FAQ that's probably available from your control panel. You could also ask the support people.
