Setting up Your Own "404:File Not Found" Error Page

A file already exists in the www directory of your server. It s called missing.html. You can edit it to your

liking, or create your own. As long as it s called missing.html and it s in your root www directory, the server

will display it whenever someone tries to access a page on your domain that does not exist.

Password Protected Web Directory

There is already a password protected web directory called "secure" on your server. You must add usernames

and passwords to it to allow your visitors to access any files you put in the "secure" directory.

Simply goto yourdomain.com/cgi bin/plusmail to add usernames and passwords to ANY directory you want.

That user and all users you ve defined in your .htpasswd file by default will have access to the directory of

your site accessible from a web browser by typing the URL as: http://www.yourdomain.com/secure/

To remove a user from your password file (i.e., to remove the access of that person to your protected

directories), simply edit the .htpasswd file located in your home directory. In this file, you ll see usernames

followed by a colon (:) and a password string. The string is the password you entered in your control panel

encoded in a way to protect the access rights. To remove the privileges of a user, erase the line containing

his/her username. Be sure to keep the file in plain ASCII, and not to change ANYTHING else.
