Solved: Creating Error Pages
This is something I've never done before so I'm just looking for a few tips . I can do it directly through my cpanel, but is there a better way? I'd really like to create some cute customized error pages, anyone have good examples?

If you have an apache server that supports .htaccess files, you can create one with lines like

ErrorDocument 404 /myerrorpage.htm

This will load the file myerrorpage.htm, located in the document root, whenever a 404 error is encountered. This can be repeated for other error codes, too.

More info here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod...#errordocument
