How to specify ErrorDocument for a VirtualHost in Apache2?

  • 772

I have an Apache 2 server and it have several vhosts with similar definition:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/host1/
    ServerName host1.loc
    <Directory /var/www/html/host1>
        AllowOverride FileInfo Options AuthConfig
    </Directory>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/host2/
    ServerName host2.loc
    <Directory /var/www/html/host2>
        AllowOverride FileInfo Options AuthConfig
    </Directory>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
</VirtualHost>
...
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/hostN/
    ServerName hostN.loc
    <Directory /var/www/html/hostN>
        AllowOverride FileInfo Options AuthConfig
    </Directory>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
</VirtualHost>

I would like to customize page 404.

The problem is that when I try to test 404 page in any of the hosts, I can see the page from the very last vhost. What could be wrong with my config?

  1. Put ErrorDocument directives inside Directory tag.

    Trunk: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/custom-error.html

    2.2: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#errordocument

    Custom error documents are configured using the ErrorDocument directive, which may be used in global, virtualhost, or directory context. It may be used in .htaccess files if AllowOverride is set to FileInfo.

  2. Use an html file instead of php one.

    ErrorDocument 404 /custom_error_404.html
