is there a way to preview an error page?

[Diablosblizz]

In cPanel I think there is a preview button. If not just go to a page that doesn't exist (assuming it's a 404 error) and you'll see the error page.

Creating a file and naming it <errornumber>.shtml is as easy as it gets. All of my sites have the following files:
400.shtml
401.shtml
403.shtml
404.shtml
500.shtml

I just code the basic HTML in Notepad and save the file. Not to complex.

400.shtml
401.shtml
403.shtml
404.shtml
500.shtml

What are all of these files: I know 404 but what are the others?

[KuJoe]

They are the most common error codes (there are a lot more but I've never seen them in the logs before).

good read...got to customize also my error page...

[techairlines]

You can use one with a custom name by adding the following line to your root .htaccess file:

ErrorDocument 404 /myown404.html

Replace 404 with your error code and myown404.html with your own file.

ok .. so we do not need to specify in our htaccess file if the file is named just '404.html'

am i right or other wise...?

You have Preview Option in your Cpanel or else You Create a custom error page using Any Html Editor(coffecup,Html Editor etc) Preview it Then upload it to the server
